Stocking up of Foul Weather

  With the threat of bad weather on our horizon, things have been a bit busy here on the Bayou.  Making sure the little skiff is secure, gathering in all of the fishing gear that normally stays on the pier and taking care of critters all needed tending.  Now we just sit back and wait.  That is harder than doing the chores.  I am not one that likes waiting...for anything.  Waiting on weather to do its thing is sort of like watching paint dry.  It is pointless.

  While Son worked on the boat, I had the opportunity to do a bit of visiting with my friend the Green Heron.  The little bird seems to have taken a liking to me...or at least to my handouts of food.  The bird munched heartily on a few little mullet that I was able to catch for it.  Perhaps the bird knows that foul weather will soon be pounding the Bayou and was stocking up on provisions by eating extra heavy.

  I am sure that most of the birds can still find enough food to survive during bad weather but I figured if I can give a helping hand, I might as well.  The bird seemed to appreciate it and even followed me most of the way back up the pier.  

  I hope you fare well during this storm, Little Greenie.  Take cover like the rest of us.  Good luck!
