Cock fight on the Way to Pay my Electric Bill







At 7 am I was driving around the pond to drop my electric bill off at the city offices-still in my pj's of course. I came around the bend and two drop-dead gorgeous Cock peasants were fighting in the middle of the road, blocking my way. I had to honk twice before they would move. On the way home they were still at it, only had moved to the side of the pond. I dashed home to get my camera (per my children's requests to blog update more frequently). When I returned I jumped out of my car -- still in my pajamas-- and disappointed all could see were their footprints in the snow-- so I took a picture of my cute car and their footprints. Driving a bit further I found the winning Cock-strutting his stuff- and began to sneak up on him in my pj's(in the Christiansen's hedge) to get a couple good shots. Which I got!!! just as a nice lady came around the corner walking her cute dog... I am sure I looked like a crazy woman-in pj's-, sneaking around in her neighbors shrubs. Chagrined- I quickly told her I was taking a picture of a beautiful cock pheasant to put on my blog for my kids and asked her to please take a picture of me....I guess she believed me and took the picture. Love to all from your crazy pheasant chasing Mom :D
