There was something ....I don't know...different about Ms Owl when she visited the patio today.
She's normally impeccably - even fastidiously neat, but this morning, she looked a bit...askew. (If I didn't know better, I would think she was hung over !)
She didn't look all that inclined to conversation, so I kept my peace.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement, and glanced over quickly.
Oh,boy ! Ms Rabbit didn't exactly look like Little Mary Sunshine either !
I decided it would be wise to go inside, have a cup of coffee, and start all over again.
While I was in the kitchen, rummaging around , I remembered Ol' Meangenes saying something yesterday about a Women of Grapes convention in Atlantic City.
It seems last year,some of our local lady folk attended a "Women of Faith" convention,and found it a little stultifying after a while : all that hymn-singing, and motivational speechifying,and such. They also found a few bottles of wine, and a quick trip to the casinos provided instant relief.
According to Meangenes, the ladies decided to dispense with the Praise Songs,and go directly to the instant relief part this year.
I'd LIKE to tell you things were much improved when I went back outside...................but they weren't.
Ms Owl still looked more spiflicated than spiffy, and as for Ms Rabbit...
This was clearly going to be a VERY long day !
