It’s been an odd day today. First there was the reciting of
a poem about a raven haired girl to a raven haired dental nurse, then there was
the singular and coincidental appearance of the raven on my garden hedge, and
shortly after that I heard what sounded like small bells tinkling very quietly
somewhere in the house. I listened and listened, and the only possibility I
could come up with was that maybe something was disturbing the green man wind chimes
I’ve got hanging in front of a window in my office. I gave them a tug but the
sound was different, so if anybody’s got an explanation for that one... And one
thing I didn’t mention in the earlier post was the weird little bird I saw
hopping round the greenhouse shortly after I saw the raven. It had legs and
feet like a kangaroo. Seriously!
I swear I hadn’t knowingly imbibed any hallucinatory
substances, so I wonder whether somebody’s trying to tell me something.

You're going bird brained! ;)
Legs and feet like a kangaroo? JJ...I think it's the Universe telling you to get your eyes examined. OR...perhaps the tinkling bell sound was made by a naughty faerie passing by on her way to put a little 'something' in your drink!
Over on my blog you asked about the mountain lion photo. I wish I could claim credit for it, but I can't. It's from the Internet and I don't know who took it. I have had only 7 sightings of mountain lions in all the years I've lived in these mountains, but on the four occasions when I could have got a great photo, once I had run out of film (going waaay back) and the other three times I didn't have a camera with me. The other times I saw one they were so interested in me I was only interested in getting away!
Perhaps the veil is thinning over at your place, who or what have you been inviting round for tea?
Andrea and Victoria: See? I knew people would think I've sold my soul to the man at the funny farm! So, the strange bird. It looked like a prematurely-fledged member of the thrush family - speckled chest and an unformed tail - but it was a bit too big for a robin and a bit too small for a blackbird, so maybe it was a song thrush. But the legs and feet really were hugely out of proportion to its body, and it hopped on them, so it looked like a kangaroo. And I've really never seen that before, so I thought it interesting. OK?
Melanie: Thank you for having faith in me! I suspect the veil might be thinning, too.
Oh, and Victoria, I think you're extremely brave to live within a hundred miles of something big with claws and teeth to match. Cows are more than a match for me!
