A gorgeous peacock dropped by this evening. We wondered if he might fall through the umbrella - you can see it seriously sagging. Richard heard a couple of sounds, like a truck pulling up to the house and a kind of honking noise, then he saw the bird out back. He stayed about half an hour, looked around and then went on his way. We're hoping he comes back.
I sure miss my old peacocks from my Tumble Creek house. They were real noisy and when they walked across the roof they really made a racket but I still miss them. I hear they're really good at fending off coyotes. If so, they're doubly nice to have around. I hope yours stays.

what a beautiful visitor. I'll bet he'll be welcome anytime.

Our umbrella looks just like that; now I'm wondering what really happened to it, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe used to live next door to a peacock when we lived out in the country. The screaching in the middle of the night could be scary, but I enjoyed all the feathers that we found.
