Do you freakin believe it? Three bald eagles sitting in a tree right there at my hill! Actual there was only one at the time, and when I went back later with the camera there was this scene. Unbelievable eh? I also had a chance to talk further with the lady who first pointed them out to me and she knew the whole story. Apparently there has been a pair nesting there for at least 4 years, and the younger one you see is probably one of their previous offspring. Sorry about the low level of photo quality but at least you have the proof that I didn't make this up. If you choose you can click on the pic and get something slightly better.
And just think....my first instinct was to believe that I didn't have time to stop and check it out.
By the way, I did my hill workout and felt strong. I also went to the pool but my effort there was
mediocre....oh well...tomorrow's another day.
I wish to dedicate day 74 to my friend Ky who hates to cook but loves to care!
"What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs, And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can, Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare."---W. H. Davies

I can't wait to see those eagles with my own eyes! Amazing!!
Random thing I found on the net. No relation to this post, but it seems to relate to a lot of challenges you have faced in the not so far behind past.
The story of the butterfly
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around.
It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand:
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.
Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly.
So have a nice day and struggle a little and teach well.
