A Soft Day

Got up early and took Bruce to pick up his car from the shop.

The birds were all out, rushing hither and thither to scrounge up food for their babies. They did not like me standing on the edge of the field, and made that perfectly clear!

There are mockingbirds and starlings nesting in the barn roof, and when both pairs of parents ducked inside with worms for the kids the most awful hoarse squawking erupted. It used to be a cute little "peep peep," but now it is an urgent "WAAA WAAA WAAA!!!"

Next thing you know they'll be demanding their own cars.
