The Elusive Flangiprop
08 Feb 2013 2 Comments
So my husband and I are flying down the highway when the WordPress Daily Prompt pops up on my iPad with a curious command — “Invent a definition for the word ‘flangiprop,’ then use the word in a post.” Invent! Invent? Why would anyone have to invent a definition for flangiprops? Even if they aren’t native to your part of the world, surely most people remember them!
Incredibly, just as the imperative hit my inbox, we saw a large herd of partially-domesticated flangiprops in a pasture next to the road. They’re rarely spotted in such numbers anymore, their population having been heavily reduced during the Great Flangiprop Slaughter of 1957. They’ve been struggling valiantly to recover ever since, and they generally stay out on the open prairie where they won’t be seen by their only natural predator — man.
These looked well cared for, however, and didn’t seem to be suffering any ill effects from being held in captivity. We were able to snap a couple of quick photos without spooking them, and I’m thrilled to be able to share those with you here, especially this shot of what appeared to be the alpha flangiprop. Perhaps they’re not bound for extinction after all!

My California boy has infected me with love for his team. We’ve been wearing our SF shirts since we rolled out of bed this morning — Go 49ers!

I’m clearly having a very random day. This popped up in my desktop photo feed just now — my mother at age 17. I’m pretty sure it was her senior picture for the yearbook. We never get over missing our mamas.
Plans?

Good morning, blogger and non-blogger friends! What does your day hold? We may get snow here by mid-morning (remember, it was over 75° the past two days), and I’m working on words to post for our reading enjoyment. Meanwhile …

The calendar says it’s winter, the temperature not so much. It reached at least 70° yesterday and is forecast to do the same today before cooling back down into the 40s. Two balmy days in a row call for flowers! Beauty heals the soul, so I encourage you to look for it everywhere today and I’m wishing everyone an amazing week, beginning with this morning — a Monday!
