I can so relate.
Thanks to covid, it has been seven months since my hair has been professionally cut.
I cut my hair with my husband’s buzzer and it looks much like this kookaburra.
Actually, it looks much better on a kookaburra!
My friend told me, I look, “natural,” which is nice friend speak for “God awful, but real.”
I’m cool with real.
If it’s good enough for the Kookaburra, it’s good enough for me.
Cheers to you and keep smiling~

Lol … Keep the dense of humor and keep smiling.
I will and thank you. Enjoying your new blog too დ
I”m a fan, love these birds.. loving hugs to you too!!!
Back 2UX2 დ დ
If you look half as good as the kookaburra, you’re beautiful.
I do tend to have a problem with hyperbole. The kookaburra looks much more beautiful than my buzz and I (◐⊝◑)
I’m smiling.
Good!
Just tell your friends, this is the new style, the fashion of 2020, and that they are far behind. Every birdwatcher who spend plenty of hours in the field knows that.
Good plan!
Perfect! I will also tell them a buzzed head is the best wild bird attractor, and then it will be even easier than it is now to pick out the birdwatchers in any group!!! (◐⊝◑)
Hopefully people aren’t giving you the bird. 😱😂 Nice Kook though.
My husband probably is, but only behind my back, particularly when he reads I’m gonna keep the buzz! (◐⊝◑)
Mr. Kookaburra is quite handsome with his rakish hairdo. My husband was reading your post over my shoulder, and he wanted to know where the picture was of you with your Kookaburra-do!
Tell your husband he should be very careful what he wishes for! I only post positive imagery on this blog (◐⊝◑)
Ha ha! 😀 😀
I have never seen this bird before, they are beautiful!
It’s funny you posted today, because I was thinking of how I haven’t seen any pictures from you lately, haha.
Awww… how nice of you to remember me. Thank you! I get a bit distracted these days caring for my twin two year old grandsons while their parents works virtually. They tend to run fast in opposite directions constantly! (◐⊝◑)
After a few weeks no-one can tell the difference anyway. 😉
I finally succumbed and made an appt. with a hairdresser. I picked a single chair shop, so I’d be the only customer, washed my hair before I left and opted out of a blow-dry. We both were masked, of course. Took 15 minutes and she did a great job, so glad that it worked!
Sounds smart. You have beautiful long hair. I think I am gonna keep the buzz. Just gonna use a longer attachment next time. Everything was set on my first buzz stroke, too short right down the center, just like the kookaburra! (◐⊝◑)
So can I. Although, I did get a haircut a few weeks ago.
So did my husband! I have no idea why he wouldn’t let me near him with the buzzer 😉
Interesting. Laurie makes me cut her hair. I don’t know why any woman in her right mind would insist on her husband cutting her hair. I asked my barber if he cut his wife’s hair. He said “No way! I’m not crazy!” It’s very traumatic for me because I know the consequences of making a mistake. However, Laurie refuses to cut my hair. I keep eyeing those selfie clippers that will do an even buzz job.
Do it! Do it! Misery loves company! (◐⊝◑) Actually, I am likin’ the buzz, so you may just consider it.
When we move our office, I’ll probably get a buzz cutter. Currently, my barber is right around the corner so I just take a break and get a hair cut.
There is something hugely satisfying with giving yourself a buzz!!! (◐⊝◑)
They are delightful, refreshing to hear birds with their laughter Cindy…but sometimes at 5am? 😂 🤣
I am surprised by their volume and they way they can shriek! Impressive, but at 5am, not so much (◐⊝◑)!
Great photos, Cindy, I love Kookaburra! ❤️
They are winsome, wonderful creatures დ
Beautiful photos of the birds. As to hair … you are not alone 🙂
I feel this and I very much appreciate it. Thank you დ
They’re not bad hair days – it’s setting new trends! 😉 😉
Have a peaceful weekend. 🙂
Exactly! And the buzz is growing on me (literally). I think my time in hair salons is over ◐⊝◑)
Mto lindos
Obrigada დ
😊
Reblogged this on Ed;s Site..
Cheers to you Edward & thank you my friend დ
Thanks for the chuckle sweetie! I bought professional shears set but haven’t gotten the nerve to cut some bangs on myself!
Go for it. I am planning on keeping the buzz, just using a bit longer attachment when it finally grows out, in about seven years (◐⊝◑)
Lol, Cindy! I doubt yours looks bad, but my hubby’s hair is quite similar to Mr Kookaburra right now, and that is after a legit haircut, now regrown! Thanks for the giggles!
Smiling back at you Terri. I can at least console myself with the fact that my buzz was free, but of course there is that whole you get what you pay for nonsense to consider too….. (◐⊝◑)
Lol!!
(◐⊝◑)
We’re curious to see your haircut. That was brave of you.
I am definitely not brave enough to post that!! (◐⊝◑)
I hadn’t seen what kookaburras look like before now. How handsome they are. As for the hair, well I keep using the picture of the stressed out hamster with his fur sticking out in all directions, whenever I can on my blog. I think he’s become my spirit animal!🤔
Cracking up…..lots!
No timber wolves or dolphins as your spirit animal, eh?
A stressed out hamster who fricking hates his wheel?
Priceless.
No wonder I like you so much. (◐⊝◑)
🤣😂🤗
We’re curious to see your haircut. That took courage.
Let’s put it this way, the kookaburra’s buzz looks much, much cuter!!! (◐⊝◑)
heh-heh 🤣 I’ll bet your hair looks great, Cindy – if it’s as charming as this little Kookaburra then it’s cute as a button – I think this is a photo call! C’mon, share the hair 😄
Laughing…..Never. Never. Never. The kookaburra clearly looks much cuter and I like to give you positive imagery! (◐⊝◑)
Fabulous kookaburra photos and I’m sure your hair would look the same as mine – au natural. I have an appointment to get mine cut next Tuesday – the hairdressers have just re-opened in Melbourne Monday this past week.
You know something strange….The buzz is kinda growing on me, in more ways than one. I don’t think I’ll miss the time and expense of the salon visits! (◐⊝◑)
Delightful pictures of the Kookaburra. I have braved the hairdresser twice since they re-opened: only two customers at a time and well spaced. It was a wonderful experience the first time!
My husband is still going to the barber, but I am developing a fondness for the buzzer!! (◐⊝◑)
Oh, to be a Kookaburra and not have to worry about my hair! Who knew that hairdressers are also essential workers?!
Laughing….. Strangely enough, the buzz is kinda growing on me. You just wake up and go, and you get to rub your hand over your head all the time cuz the buzz feels cool! (◐⊝◑)
I feel you, Cindy! Thank goodness for a “safe” friend with clippers! Cheers!
My husband isn’t ready for this yet, but I am definitely liking the buzz, and thinking of hair salon prices, it is even more appealing! (◐⊝◑)
Good for you, Cindy!
(◐⊝◑)
Gorgeous photos, particularly the close ups. Such cute birds!
They are incredibly winsome creatures and very friendly too! დ
I’m certain you look just as cute at the Kookaburra’s! 😍
I wish!!! (◐⊝◑)
LOL, I cut my own bangs a few weeks ago…bad move! 🙂 LOL
Honestly, we might start rockin our own home-do’s which wouldn’t be good for our hairstylists, but it is a whole lot cheaper! (◐⊝◑)
Lovely bird. I am sure your hair looks fine. My hair is naturally curly, so I can get away with pretending it’s supposed to be an Afro. On humid days, I like the gentle transition from bone straight, to slightly curly, to very wavy.
I’m actually kinda enjoying the freedom of buzz, but don’t tell my husband. He is counting on me growing it back out 😉
🥰😙 That’s very nice. I’ll not tell him.
Thank you. Before I buzzed it all off, my hair was curly too. I feel you and your hair (◐⊝◑)
Home is hair the heart is. I’m at a lost ‘fro words over these specktacular shots! ⊹⋛⋋(◐⊝◑)⋌⋚⊹
(•ө•)♡ミ◕ฺｖ◕ฺ彡━=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ ‧̣̥̇)━
My hairdo is definitely best for days spend at home! (◐⊝◑)
٩(*❛⊰❛)ʓਡ～♡
Love to you დ დ
Excellent, Cindy! We need to be flexible and patient until we can reach a new “normal.” Excellent photos and a great text! Thank you, my friend! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Thanks Fabio. Finding humor in our predicament certainly helps, so keep on smiling and enjoy your weekend დ
Thanks so much, Cindy! All the best, my friend! 🙂
დ დ
Fabulous bird portraits, Cindy! Have a great weekend!
Thank you very much Peter and you too დ
If you look half as good as that kookaburra, you must look great! 😉
Unfortunately, I do not look half as good as that kookaburra. But no one does 😉
Fair point 😉
დ
Kookaburras are lovely, so you probably look great. 🙂 Wonderful photos.
Ummm, actually, the kookaburra rocks his buzz cut. Unfortunately, I do not (◐⊝◑)
We have learned a great deal over these past months, have we not, Cindy. Last week, I had my fifth “COVID-19” – done at home. Who knew we could learn to be hair-dressers! Loved your photos – your love of nature reminded me of Mary Oliver’s poem “The Kookaburras.”
Yes, we have learned a lot about what really matters now, haven’t we. It is certainly not how we look, it is more about how we choose to live our lives. Love to you Rebecca დ დ
Amen!!!🤗🤗🤗
As I wait for the chemotherapy to make all mine fall out… and it gets fluffier and fluffier by the minute… I can so relate too 😀
I am so genuinely sorry you are going through this Sue. Our hair, like our looks, has always been the least of our concerns, despite all the endless messaging, all our lives, telling us otherwise. Sending you love, admiration and healing hopes. I hope you might like your hair free head. Our feminine heads are the best part of us and good to see it clearly დ დ
Thanks, Cindy. I shall have fun with it, and go all Bohemian or Carmen Miranda 😉
Good for you. I am now considering a Carmen Miranda look!!!
Go for it 😀
დდ
‘I can so relate.’ – So do I, thanks to my messy hair. It stay the way it was done only for couple of hours, then it is all messy.
Beautiful pictures. 🙂
God Bless you and your messy hair დ დ
My hair is getting the same treatment as yours, Cindy I dread to think what my hairdresser will say although I am happy with it…Mr. Kookaburra is very handsome 🙂
Honestly, I am thinking our hair, or lack of it, rocks better by itself. Stay well Carol დ დ
The Kookaburra looks cute and I bet you do too. xo
You are blessed with both optimism and kindness. Thank you დ

Yes, this is it! It sometimes gets even louder and sounds like a monkey howling in the forest! დ
Its a handsome bird 9in a muted brown sort of way), it’s beak reminds me of a kingfisher although that’s a much smaller and more brightly coloured creature.
Well, you are a perceptive person. Kookaburra’s are the largest members of the kingfisher family. It is a good sized bird, much bigger than other kingfishers დ
That’s amazing as they evolved on the otherside of the world!
It is. I have seen kingfishers in Africa and South America too.
Obviously a very successful design of bird!
Yes. დ
I smiling!
Smiling back at you! დ

Must be pretty bad, as no images of you!
Yeah, it is! Needs about two months to grow out (◐⊝◑)
I need to have some chopped off, I am beginning to look like a witch!
Well, then, don’t do it before Halloween! (◐⊝◑)
Good idea!
დ
Cute post Cindy. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome Gary დ
Haha, looking natural is a tactful statement. However, I don’t think you look awful though. Remember we are always pretty inside who cares about the hair…… we do our best. 🙂 I know how you feel though…..
Exactly! I agree with you. It’s what’s happening under the hair that matters! დ
I can remember learning a poem about kookaburra, when I was in grades two or three. They are so pretty. Thank you for sharing your amazing photographs, Cindy. 🙂
Ahhh, thank you more for being such a kind friend დ
I am absolutely certain that your hair look good. Anything that is natural can’t go wrong. Like these cute ones and I think they at their best!
I agree with you that natural looks best. We, and our celebrity worshipping culture, have gotten so far away from any sort of real, as role model celebrities slice, dice, inject and “perfect,” themselves. I am bored of it, so thank you very much! დ
I use to get my hair cut every 6-7 weeks and like you it’s been a number of months since I had that done. So far people like my hair longer!
Wonderful! You are invited to join the club for brave women who cut their own hair! (◐⊝◑)
What a neat bird with a lovely song/call. I’ve only seen them in captivity at the zoo.
The last time I had my hair cut was in early January this year! I had a pixie cut. I’ve been trimming it myself but the pixie is long gone. Now, I’m closer to a Bob, and I have to keep chopping off the back at the nape to keep from having a Mullet. My scissors need sharpening because I’m getting frizzy ends. Sigh…I need to see the stylist SO BAD! I’m just not ready to go face the shop and wear a mask to get it done. I see a lot more Bad Hair Days in my future. 😭
A woman who cuts the hair on the back of her head is brave. I do it and I salute you. We should form some sort of club for women who cut their own hair. Do you think we would be the only members!! (◐⊝◑
No, my neighbor cuts her own hair too. 😀
SO very relatable! I was due for a haircut when it hit, cut my own hair until early September, finally broke down and got another one last night. Interesting though. My hair looks the same no matter what. 😉 messy.
What I am noticing with the buzz, is that I sort of like it better, which is quite a surprise, AND it takes about 4 minutes to do and is free… as a bird! (◐⊝◑)
I didn’t mind taking the clippers to my hair at all 😉
You can join our non-existent virtual club of women who cut their own hair. It is the coolest club ever because it does absolutely nothing (◐⊝◑)
😂 I wear my hair very messy and spiky so it is very easy to look the same while I do nothing. 😉
