For the past few weeks I have seen a US Military Jet or two rising with the sun. And the pattern has been: Beautiful Sunrise ? ... Fire That Baby Up ! So I chilly footed it out to the road on Monday morning, when I saw from my Living Room windows, what they saw. I was wearing my Ethnic Loungewear from Africa. (See Monday, November 20, 7 Facts About Me). AlI I can see is an African Umbrella Thorn Tree ... the clouds are obviously the foliage. As for the jets, that's just our tax dollars at work. Works for me ! I'd much rather have them f ing around and having some fun as opposed to bombing some Country. This does not mean that I am opposed to bombing and/or seriously punishing any individual who despise America, everything about us, and wants to do us harm.
And just so you can go around saying, "I learned something today ... " ... The African Umbrella Thorn Trees are almost in bloom over there right now, it's summer, and it's a white puffy clump of dense snow ball thingies. The branches make awesome spears, and the trunk makes a great wagon wheel.
Speaking of snow ball thingies ... that first blizzard last night was incredible and it's so beautiful this morning, but it's like 35 degrees with 5" on the ground. Photos to follow ... Check out Weather Pixie Chicklette. You know you are in a South Dakota morning when you check on your cattle ... before you check on your kids.
