WHAT KEEPS US GOING?

You wake up - hopefully from a deserved fully revitalized & vital sleep (too many of us are sleep deprived! > BAD SHIT!) But then, you got to be MOTIVATED to DO STUFF! Depending on your age-phase (like me @ 82: nobody NEEDS me!) .... But if you are a parent, or need to prepare to go to work, or have animals you need tending, you have clearly defined DUTIES to attend to. This makes your existence better defined, since Critters depend on you! However, when you are beyond those more meaningful life-demanding years, SOMETHING(s) need to keep you motivated! A hobby? ....Your plants?..... Some project requires your attention! If NOT, you wake up with a 'WHY am I bothering?' A day = a day = is a day mis-aday-aya-hyo ? (the song?) At this stage in our human development, we live WAY beyond our 'Natural' needs! No other animals come even close! Sure would be nice to receive some responses???? >!!!!

SWALLOW MAN?

Now you see it > THEN you Don't! HELLO ZERO FOLLOWERS! I continue indulging as my urges motivate - expressing my views - (questionably with no responses?). Being mostly a 'HANDS-ON' type, receiving NO responses suggests I am talking/expressing primarily to MY-self! This is NO FaceBook with all its daily updates of new pictures, or 'Like-Me'responses thereto. OR? Maybe, it IS a mere FB, only with lengthier diatribe? That said, to the point of writing this issue! As a young Theatre graduate from the 'ROYAL' Central School of Speech & Drama in London England, (I speak of the early sixties), settling in Toronto, I was hired to do a SUCRET commercial (a lozenge against a sore throat) Hired, based on my ability to 'control' my ADAM's APPLE movement > Can you believe it? >>> ====================================================================================== NOW! Some 55 years later, as a main 'BIRDER' > with several nesting boxes attached to my house, I have been hosting a family of Green-Violet Swallows for over 10 + years! It proved the parents were DEAD! Since this year, a set of its Off-Spring, a Female + a new Male (?) chose to nest in a secondary box, located some 2 feet away from the parental box. Well? As any NEW parent, "things' are not not smooth! The 'NORM' is: Female You lays a fertized egg, then another, to a potential 4 (with Swallows).... Then? MOM sits on eggs > STATS state 13-17 days? > THERE already is the potential problem! Some hatch before others, and as such, some fledge earlier thamn others! AND THERE.... lies the potential problem?..... Especially when UR a newly wed! i.e. Some fledlings will take the jump ..... days before another dare do the same! And THAT is what I am experiencing right now! I.e. at times, the parents will give up OVER N OUT FOR NOW!
