While admiring the awesomeness of the Arch de Triomphe,  a huge flock of……………………pigeons tried to land on me.  A British lady started screaming “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE BIRDS”.  The thing is, I didn’t do anything to them.  They just wanted to be with me.  I must admit it was a pretty frightening first encounter. Maybe Paris was where Hitchcock got his inspiration.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since then, I have been more aware of the fair feathered friends in my life.  The sweetest thing for me is when  they come to my patio glass door &amp;amp; peak in, watching in curiosity as I  peck away at some rather odd looking box.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My latest encounter was last week.  During my morning walk, two  amazingly beautiful ducks in perfect formation were flying at eye level (eye level for me is pretty low) &amp;amp; headed straight for me.    Three feet in front of my face they dove upwards &amp;amp; over my head.  I’m not sure what that particular aviation technique is called, but in what should have been an AWWW kind of moment (note J.K.)  All I could think was “Please don’t ‘bleep’ on me please don’t ‘bleep’ on me!!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I really am grateful for the chipper little chirpers in my life.  They bring a little ‘Fairy Tale’ to the reality of my day!  Oh, by the way, I’m still waiting on my Fairy Godmother to appear…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6290530031124067114-2149965593437257783?l=aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com/feeds/2149965593437257783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6290530031124067114&amp;postID=2149965593437257783' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6290530031124067114/posts/default/2149965593437257783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6290530031124067114/posts/default/2149965593437257783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com/2010/05/so-i-have-this-thing-with-birds-or.html' title='The Birds...A Tale of Fowl Play'/><author><name>Arete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16999049603556247202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-ekNIASqPk/S_0k5-3s83I/AAAAAAAAAEI/KrVawIGndPI/s72-c/blog+the+birds+1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290530031124067114.post-1469298790309153800</id><published>2010-05-26T03:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-26T04:24:42.715-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Under The Big Top...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-ekNIASqPk/S_0Eq2_6adI/AAAAAAAAADY/WvW2qjb7m5g/s1600/circus+treasury.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

I thought that a kitten had wondered up on my patio, but when I headed towards the cry, I realized that it was coming from my living room. I arrived at the scene to find my cat (Grey Kitty is her name) completely dumbfounded by having given birth to the cutest little black kitty ever. I was even more dumbfounded, since I had no idea she was even pregnant. This is a cat, who has never been outside a day in her life, much less seen a male animal of any kind (or so I thought). In my shocked state, I'm thinking...IT'S A MIRACLE! I could almost here the golden harps playing, but was soon jolted back to reality when I remembered back exactly 2 months before...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had been out of town and left a friend of mine in charge of kitty/house sitting for the week. Upon my return home, I noticed a window had been left open. Little did I know there had been a total feline orgy going on the entire time that I was gone. Oh well, she is now the proud mother of 3 of the sweetest little angels ever and I have my very own real life 'peeping tom' to cuddle with! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6290530031124067114-6238601144847245349?l=aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com/feeds/6238601144847245349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6290530031124067114&amp;postID=6238601144847245349' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6290530031124067114/posts/default/6238601144847245349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6290530031124067114/posts/default/6238601144847245349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aretedesignsbybethspatafora.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-stork-arrived-quite-unexpecteldy.html' title='The day the Stork arrived quite unexpectedly...'/><author><name>Arete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16999049603556247202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-ekNIASqPk/R87C71nDjlI/AAAAAAAAAA0/nYY26bs91Fw/s72-c/peepingtom.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290530031124067114.post-597210423072139893</id><published>2008-02-25T06:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T17:34:54.517-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='career'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beginnings'/><title type='text'>New Beginnings...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-ekNIASqPk/R8LXdG6g9QI/AAAAAAAAAAk/oLCa5n7NTKQ/s1600-h/etsysingbeg1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170932217246971138" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-ekNIASqPk/R8LXdG6g9QI/AAAAAAAAAAk/oLCa5n7NTKQ/s200/etsysingbeg1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;**In March of 2004, my mother sent me a clipping of my birthday horoscope, just as she did every year. As usual, I skimmed over it and stuck it in a drawer, not giving it much thought...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The next month, she died, unexpectedly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I have always been a creative person and tend to seek new avenues of creativity when times are tough. That summer I began making record album purses to try and keep my mind off my loss. My purses became a hit and I sold quite a few. I even toyed with the idea of starting my own business. But with life's demands of raising a teenaged son and working full time, I dismissed it as a dream and purse production stopped.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;One breakup, a miserable job, and a year later, I began creating jewelry with some stained glass shards that had been lying around the house. Once again, my designs became a hit. I couldn't go anywhere without someone commenting on them. I would literally sell them off of my neck. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;'Something' kept telling me that this is it...that this is what I'm supposed to do. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;That same 'Something' lead me to pull out that old horoscope. And there it was......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;"A project done well in June will&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;push you into a new career realm"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;...hmmm, I thought...it was June of that year when I made my first purse...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I knew then that this is what I am supposed to do. I never looked back...I took the leap, formed my own business and have never been happier.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I encourage everyone to discover their talents and follow their dreams.
