I'm so over it....

Going outside is just awful.

It's dry and hot and sticky.

The birds and squirrels are agitated and grumpy.

The Robin can't stay out of the water for long.

He just sits or splashes the water all over

and scatches and preens his feathers.

He must have fleas or mites

that are annoying him.

The squirrels are eating anything they can find

and that isn't much.

The flowers have died rather than going through the stage of having seed heads.

Even the bees and wasps are drinking the water I put out.

No flowers, no liquid.

It hasn't rained for ages.

We've had storms around us

but we haven't had a drop.

The news from Pakistan is terrible.

Too much water there.

So much suffering

for people who have very little to begin with.

The flooding all over the planet this year is scary.

And, so to, is the lack of water.

I don't mean to be morbid and depressing

but I pay attention to Nature

and it is telling us something.

I am one of those who believe that the Planet  is going through changes

that have nothing to do with us,

and everything to do with us.

We have not looked after our Home very well

and it's too late to change things now.

Oh, I don't mean you should just throw up your hands and pollute and litter with abandon,

NO...

we should still try to do all that we can,

but Gaia has spoken

and she's pissed.

Maybe it's menopause

and hot flashes

and sweats

that are causing the imbalance!!!

I know when I have a hot flash

and I do.....

I like to douse myself in water.
