Just for fun. Wow. Anyone handy with paper? Six pages of instruction on that origami, but people are flocking to the site.
A childhood friend of my dad’s lives in the hills above here, and I was admiring her koi pond once. She lamented that the cranes and the great blue herons loved their fast-food sushi snacks, standing by the side of the little pond, waiting for the captive fish to come out from under their covered area. Sure. They could wait.
We do live between the Bay and the ocean, and one will occasionally see a brilliantly white great crane standing in the green grass above the freeway in the spring, nowhere particularly near the waterways, simply showing off the fact that they’re gorgeous. (Do the cars passing below look like fish in a stream at a distance? Are they carwindow-shopping?)
So. If a sea-diving bird were to fly over and decide it wanted a little lemon juice to go with its fish, and it got caught in the thorns, would I pull my auks out of the Meyer?
Or de-murre?
(Waiting for the angel food cake in the oven to finish. Oh–there it goes.)
Happy birthday, Michelle!
