Peacock run!

This morning I was out for my morning walk (which I've been really bad about doing lately because my bed is so nice and warm!) and I had two shocking things happen.
First it was raining. Well, not exactly raining, more like drizzling very lightly, light enough that I could be outside with no problem. But that is a big deal in December here; the last time it rained was Nov 11th and I didn't think I'd see another drop 'til at least Jan.
Second, I had a peacock run right in front of me! It seriously shocked me, I mean it was about 1 foot in front of me, I practically tripped over it. She seemed lost...but no, 2 minutes later another one joined her and they just walked around with me. Peacocks are the national bird of India so there are lots of them in the country but not tons in the city and definitely not in a neighborhood. I've decided that this is a good sign for the day.
