Birdie Birdie

 

I;m writing this post on Tuesday night just as the polls are closing. I know we won't have definitive answers in most races for quite a while so I'll just post some bird pictures


                                         

We were evidently visited by a bear and woke to find the bird feeder in the yard. Bob is appalled.



So for now, the seed is on the porch railings.


It brings them much closer but they are very wary of the lady in the rocking chair, aiming a suspicious-looking device at them.


But it's something to do while waiting to find out if our democracy will survive. The polls look good, even very good, but I remember the optimism I felt, first about Hilary and then Kamala. 

May there be a Blue Wave this time!!!

UPDATE around 9 pm---looking pretty good~ feeling that Blue Wave sloshing at my feet.. .

AM update: Oh Joy! Oh rapture! Calloo, callay!

North Carolina has a Democratic legislature! Wow oh my goddess, WOW! Things are a changing! So glad Cooper is new Senator too! Even without my vote, y'all did well! We all did well!

So the bear got to you too?
Yes, what wonderful news. Almost to hard to process how big the change over is.
