Today The Old Lady turned 70.
First she wondered: “How the heck did I get this old?”
But she knew the answer:
She’s been busy.
A friend asked if she had any special plans for the day.
The Old Lady replied: “YES, and I accomplished them already…. I woke up.”
TxB2Gd!

Cleaned sharp skeleton
Frog flesh devoured
Croak croaked
Hop stilled
Still dancing

The Old Lady visited the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Titusville, Florida, and found the entrance to an area of Florida Scrub Jay habitat which was closed for nesting season.
As she stood looking over the gate who should appear but one of the famously elusive Scrub Jays!
The bird was friendly and allowed itself to be photographed.
Then she flew right in front of The Old Lady, speaking in a soft squawky voice, and returned to the more pressing business of finding food.
The Old Lady felt blessed.

Being a teenager is never easy…
Especially if you are a juvenile Great Blue Heron.
Feathers ITCH as they grow in.
This teenager seemed out of sorts as it fussed and scratched at its new plumage.
An irritated full body shake just made things worse…
So the Heron flew off to find something to eat.
Typical.

June is Pride Month, and now more than ever it is time for all of us human beings to be proud of who we are and who we love.
The Old Lady turns seventy this month. She has spent her entire life on the run, flying under the radar.
She made it work; she lived her life as she damn pleased.
But she would like a better world for her children.
And you are ALL her children, LGBTQ+ or whatever.
She loves you, and she loves who you love.
BE PROUD!
