The Supermoon last evening – From our home. It was pretty overcast, but beautiful.<\/p>\n

As we said goodnight moon and drifted to sleep, I was not thinking about trouble.<\/p>\n

Nor was I thinking about trouble this morning when the hubs asked “what are your plans for the day”? My response went something like this. Well my plan A did not work out today, so that is shifting to Thursday. \u00a0 I think today will be one of those days spent around the house. And I mentioned a few things on my list.<\/p>\n

While working on my little list, I had a visit. A visit I wasn’t expecting and it changed my whole day.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0the fake egret was not able to deter Mr. Big Bird today.<\/p>\n

And I had to yell at him again today, as he ruffled my feathers. I can’t believe he just nonchalantly landed on the patio like it was his surf and turf. Shame on him!<\/p>\n

I’m so glad my plan A failed.<\/p>\n

So today I hooked up the other decoy. It’s a scarecrow motion activated animal deterrent. I set the motion sensor so strong that when I opened the patio door, it went off. And I was at peace.<\/p>\n

Turns out, I wanted to be on the patio today. So I turned off the scarecrow motion detector sprinkler and decided that I wanted the afternoon shift.<\/p>\n

It was another beautiful day.<\/p>\n

The patio is where I normally have coffee, lunch and our dinners. The weather has been amazing. We’ve yet to turn on the AC. And so the patio was just the place I felt like chilling. My sore muscles from working in the garden over the weekend, enjoyed the rest.<\/p>\n

So, I loaded up on reading material and learned a lot more about fish, water gardening and a few more tricks to use to deter Mr. Big Bird from our fish.<\/p>\n

Sorry about the wilted roses, I picked those a few days ago for the patio and it looks like I need to refill with some fresh blossoms.<\/p>\n

We still have 10 fish. But I’m beginning to worry.<\/p>\n

The hubs contends that as long as I’m here, nothing will get by me.<\/p>\n

But I worry for the days I’ll be away. The hubs reminded me that on the days I’m away, we’ll arm that pond with a little extra back-up.<\/p>\n

We are already looking into a few more options, as we see trouble on our doorstep. And we hope to protect our little fish from all harm.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m in writing the blog while Elvis is playing “Are You Lonesome Tonight” out on the patio. I understand the radio can deter birds too.<\/p>\n
