I found the tree where the Bald Eagle keeps court…

The American Public School system did a wonderful job brainwashing me. I still wholeheartedly believe that the Bald Eagle is a majestic expression of freedom and I can hardly take my eyes off of the birds when I see them (which is becoming more and more often since this nest is near the barn at the horse ranch).

The eagle was too far up in the sky for me to snap a picture of it, but it is always fun to ride under this nest when the leaves are off the tree just to see the enormity of the whole thing. Instead of twigs, it’s mostly made up of small branches. An impressive structure, if I do say so myself. I just wish that my pictures could do the King’s court justice. Unfortunately, to my brainwashed, American brain, no pictures can accomplish that.

Symbolism...

Typically, I wear six earrings between my two ears. For the last year I have been wearing a strawberry, a peace sign, a faux diamond, a hoop, and two plastic rainbow-hearts. (For the most part, only girls ages eleven and younger compliment my earrings.)

On Wednesday past, I lost one of the rainbow-hearts.

Yesterday, New Year's Eve, the on remaining rainbow-heart broke.

What does That say about my upcoming year?
