I have just altered the tagline (subtitle) to my blog from ‘feeding the birds’ (I think that’s what it was!) to ‘about birds, wings and other things’.
Apart from the fact that this little tagline rhymes, I thought it might better describe why my subject matter has transmogrified (sorry, I love that word!) into mini-articles/stories that are sometimes about things other than birds….
For example, in my cramped little office at the end of the enclosed veranda that Wantok dominated for a time, there is a wasp hovering around my head wanting very much to sting me, and, in a couple of hours, I will see the mouse I’ve been trying to trap for several days nibbling at my pile of papers.
Also, despite the comfort and beauty of our birds, Husband’s illness and Son’s adolescence have begun to preoccupy me much more than the birds. And another ‘also’: now that I’ve discovered so many fantastic blogs and bloggers, I would like to be able to ‘reblog’ (if I can figure out how!) etc. I guess I’m still on P-plates!
In other words – and I don’t particularly like cliches, but this one is apt – the sky is the limit!

Hi,
I like the new name for the blog, and your right it does rhyme. 🙂
I’ve just been looking at your blog and am now following!
It’s a good tagline. I’ve changed mine several times, as my blog has evolved.
Phew – wasn’t sure – thanks!
I like it alot
I like the change, but then, I wouldn’t mind what you called your blog so long as you keep writing. I love your writing. It’s from the heart. ~ Lynda
Thanks, Lynda (I keep wanting to call you pixi!)
LOL! You wouldn’t be the first. Most people think it is from pixel which has to do with (old) computer screens, but actually is an old fashioned term which means that the pixies have got hold of you.* I stole it from one of my favorite old movies called “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.” staring Gary Cooper. (I highly recommend it!) In the courtroom scene there are two dotty spinster sisters who get him into trouble by saying he’s “pixilated.”
*Newer definitions of the word leave out the part about the pixies…
1.slightly eccentric or mentally disordered.
2.amusingly whimsical, prankish, silly, or the like.
Well actually, I don’t know how amusing I am, but I guess the rest of it pretty much fits. 😉

I could be wrong here but I thought ‘pixilated’ meant inebriated – hehe – maybe that’s just in Australia!
‘Transmorgified’ IS a lovely word! 🙂
ha!
