Good morning … it’s a nice quiet morning here today… it’s supposed to be stormy this weekend 🤨…
While I do love storms… California storms are boring. Not that I want a storm of total destruction – I do NOT! But our rain is just boring… cold and boring… even the thunder and lightening storms, although sometimes, in the country at my house, they are pretty spectacular!! I love it when it shakes my house! But is rare.
So… boring rain, off and on for the weekend… it is overcast and kinda spitting at the moment.
I have this HUGE picture window in the office … we sit on a busy street in the big city…
Sometimes the window just hypnotizes me… you can watch people, see the cars, see what the weather does – I really love that window! My window to the world kinda lol … since I’m all locked up and by myself here.
As I look outside today… the cars are very few … not like usual… maybe it will pick up as day goes on – it is still early on a Saturday morning.
Once in awhile, I can tend to be a little teeny tiny bit superstitious … just with certain things … I try not to think with those things cause I don’t like being superstitious with anything… because it can’t be real, can it? Let’s be logical
But there’s this old wives tale… ok I hate this one cause it makes my hair stand up, and my heart pump …
It is regarding “crows”… if you see 3 crows in your yard or the yard of where you are … someone who is close to you or that you know or love, will die. There will be a death in your life… Oh my god! See!!! That one is horrible!! I hate that one!!!
Ok so I am not a big fan of seeing crows … a big flock is fine … but otherwise they make me nervous…
As I was looking out the big window all by myself here this morning…
One single crow flew into the yard … ok I hope he did not bring any friends – one is fine … but I immediately start scanning for any others …
This happened last weekend too… just one crow… ok one is fine. But then again this weekend – still just one and he’s gone now
It just gives me a little nervous feeling. Like I better brace??
Yeah I know – it’s just an old wives tale … but happened just before my father died, and again with my grandfather, and also grandmother … so 3 times it was correct or ya know … I saw the 3 crows right before they died each time.
So yeah kinda makes me nervous to see crows at all!! Shoo- go away! Lol
Again I know is just a superstition but still gives me the chills and makes me feel weird. And with all this stupid panic stuff and virus crap… I don’t want to being seeing 3 crows!!
But it was only one – so it’s ok right now… as long as he doesn’t bring 2 friends with him – I’m good!! Has to be 3.
Anyway… he has flown away for now… but just is in my head now. Stay away crows!! No crows!!
I really hate THAT old wives tale!
… but I don’t like to see crows … it’s not that I “want” to believe… but it gives me a very uneasy feeling.
Yeah… I never heard that saying before but it’s spooky that it’s been accurate for you!

We don’t have that. I guess the nearest thing is my football team. If you see one magpie then they will let best in the next game, if you see 2 together – they win. The other non football magpie saying comes from the old poem
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird,
So if you see a line magpie to ward off bad luck you have to greet the bird. I say ‘morning Mr Magpie”
