Play Date For The Animals

     Play dates are not just for little kids, animals have them as well. Every day at about 8:30 a.m. is our play date time between Mia (the in door cat) and the Peacocks, Ricky and Lucy. It begins with Lucy scratching at the door then she pecks at the window. I call Mia and tell her that her friends are here. She comes running and plops down and starts rolling and meowing. When Lucy starts squawking then Mia comes to the window and starts pawing it. This goes on every morning.

     Don't look at the dirty windows. It is hard to keep them clean when this goes on every day and on sunny days the peacocks will come back around 4:00 p.m. for more play action.

     Then we have the two dogs who look in constantly. They are either watching the TV or they just like to give us that look that says we are lonely and hungry.

     Today we had a unique play date. This involved it sounded like hundreds of black birds. They showed up in the top of a couple of trees in the back yard. They started squawking then the guinea started followed by the peacocks. It sounded like they were in the house it was so loud. I was able to snap this picture of the birds but as soon as I opened the door to get the other critters everyone flew away and play time was over. Just like little kids, a grown up was not welcome.
