We’re experiencing uncharacteristically wet weather here in Colorado and are in day four (I think?) of off-and-on-again rain. Dare I say it? Yes, I dare: It’s exceedingly M-O-I-S-T around these parts (apologies to those who loathe that word but I could not resist).
This morning I looked out and saw a member of the typically debonaire American Kestrel species out on the wire. In the rain.

I thought about offering an umbrella, but the always-present-even-under-wet-circumstances imperious kestrel-tude let me know it was best to keep quiet.

Three and a half days, maybe, since it didn’t start until the hurricane Monday afternoon. That bird is braver than I am — I had fun in the rain yesterday, but now I’m over it 😉

Lots more soggy birds out today. I’m over the rain, too. Maybe a collective shaking-of-our-fists at the sky will make it stop?

Kestrel-tude, indeed. The kestrel is not amused! (But I am.)

Haven’t seen that kestrel since, but there are lots of other unamused birds perching around here. Soggy, soggy, soggy.

Ha! I feel like handing him a big bath towel. Better yet, a blow dryer (and a warm room to use it in.)
Hope you are keeping relatively dry. I saw on the news that your state has had floods.

We’re still getting lots of rain. No flooding around here but Boulder is really struggling. Zebu told me a bunch of schools are closed due to “rain day.” That’s unheard of in Colorado.
Think dry thoughts, please. 🙂

Bedraggled is the right word! But I guess we all have our pride. Hope it’s nothing worse than heavy rain for you, Tracy. Colorado’s in the news here in the UK, too.

Thanks for the good thoughts, Amy. It is only heavy rain for us but Boulder and other areas are struggling. Flooding basements, collapsing roofs. It really is much too much.
