Here I am, sitting at my dining room table, taking a break between laundry and
yardwork, with my ipad in front of me, catching up on the weekend email. I
open up the OBOL digest and am innocently reading through the weekend's
postings, when suddenly, I find myself in the middle of an old Western movie
set! Yes! there I am, that innocent, kindly woman seated at a table in the
back of the saloon(?), when, suddenly, the hero/villain bursts in through the
swinging doors! The men stand up, shots are fired, fists are flying, and
someone is thrown onto the table in front of me as I watch it splinter as they
crash to the floor!
Who knew so much excitement could happen on an innocent Birding list serve???
;-) ;-)
(Okay, to fit birds into this, so far this morning in my yard I've had a
Sharp-shinned hawk, White-breasted (or slender-billed?) nuthatches, numerous
juncos, spotted towhees, white-crowned sparrows, song sparrows, golden-crowned
sparrows, varied thrush, red-winged blackbirds, acorn woodpeckers, northern
flickers, yellow-rumped warblers, starlings, scrub jays, black-capped
chickadees, and I expect to see a few robins, house-finches, and hopefully a
golden-crowned kinglet when I get back outside.
Whew, that's enough for me today. I'm going outside to slay weeds, and sever
grapevines!
Charlotte ;-)
One weed seeding means seven years weeding. That's my motto for today. ;-)
