Cheese Danish, and it's all mine.
Go ahead, make...my...day.
I was leaning against my car while pumping gas. A crow landed a few feet away, cocked its head and glared at me as if to say, "Excuse me, you are blocking my pastry." Oh, OK. I made the connection and stepped back a few feet.
My upper respiratory cold has taken over this week. Home from work today, I was able to sleep 11 hours last night. Rest - gotta have it. Back to work tomorrow in slow motion. I've been reading posts but my mind draws a blank and my fingers stiffen on the keyboard. Slow thinking, dull, flat. You know what I mean?

Huh, I drew a blank on what to reply.
Kidding! Happy to hear you are doing better. I hope you are keeping the bird feeders filled as you get over your cold.

I hope you enjoyed your day off. You sound like you really needed it. Get well. Don't worry about those stiff disconected appendages for a few days.
If you can sleep 11 hours without coughing or dripping, you must be on the mend. That second picture is very impressive. I saw it on Flickr and had to come over to see what it was about.
coffee fixes that slow flat thinking for me but can't do that on a weeknight!-Nice photos!
Carol, perhaps the birds have been avoiding me is due to the cough I have while filling their feeders? :o)
Lisa, I could use another day off but one day of lounging made a nice difference.
Ruth, American Crows are interesting if you watch them for a little while.
Larry, coffee would be my worst enemy right now!
Mary--my husband has been getting over a cold that lasted a MONTH! No kidding.
And he still hacks and coughs--sounds terrible, but he claims he is getting better.
Hope yours doesn't last so long.
Donna - poor husband. I've had colds that lasted that long when I lived in MD/DE - mostly allergy related. I get this particular cold every 4-5 years and the residual coughing lasted a month. This time, I hope to be lucky and count on another winter freeze to help out. It was 73 degrees today.
Rest is the best right now!
I think slow all the time.
Mary it is better to get your rest rather than being on the computer. We will all still be around. Now go and take care of yourself.
Thank you so much for the crows. Greedy, brazen things!
I know exactly what you mean. And it can strike me without a cold. ;-)
So hope the worst is over and that you are feeling better each day! Love the crows gobbling the danish.
Get better soon, friend. Praying for you today.
Hi Mary,
I hope you feel better soon--it's no fun to have a cold like that.
Fun pictures of the crows. We used to put breadsticks out for them--now that's a sight...a crow flying around with what appeared to be a big white cigar in its beak!
Enjoy your time, dear Mary!
Love those photos!
Your sense of humor seems to be alive and well.
Thanks for the photos (and captions) of the crows.
Very cool shots of a happy breakfaster. Hope you are feeling better soon, Mary.
Dear Mary,
Glad to know you were able to get some much needed sleep. Try to continue resting when you are able.
If I could I would hibernate in January but who would feed the birds? We have a cold rain today.
I feel the call of a nap.
Hugs and green tea,
Sherry
Great photos, Mary! Love the crow in flight. 11 hours sleep sounds good to me :-) Take it easy and get rid of that cold!
Mary, you are getting some great bird photos! What are you going to do when you are well??
Hope you feel better soon.
I hope you feel wonderful again soon, Mary. That's cool you connected with the crow's needs!
Birds are awesome! Isn't that funny how they know how to manipulate us into do things!
Oh, poor sick Mary. I hope you get better soon.
Nice pics! Now go get some rest.
So sorry to hear that you've been sick, Mary. I hope you have a restful weekend and feel better soon.
Your bird photos are absolutely gorgeous on your blog...I'm over visiting from Leaves of Grass...because of our pets :)
Very funny story to go with the photos.
Hope your cold lets up sooooon.
