For the birds


 Tomorrow Ollie is being dedicated at church.
Lunch is at my house afterwards.
This morning,
I went out in the yard 
and saw my lawn chairs.
Wow.
Holy birdcrap!
I mean seriously I think condors
may be nesting in all the trees.
You would need a hazmat suit 
to be able to sit in them.
I am not exaggerating.
This spring I purchased
a new hammock for the back yard.
I envisioned me and one of the littles
swinging and reading or singing.
up close...
That is so inviting, no?
It has become an $80 poop wind sail.
 Then while I was gathering up the furniture
in a pile to burn  wash and bleach
I found two dead birds.
There can only be one conclusion.
They crapped themself to death.
I mean really. 
Really.
Someone call Bird Watcher's Digest.
They We have a problem.

Oh, I can relate to this one! We have a hammock on our dock and have the same issues. I love lying in our hammock with the breeze off of the lake and reading a book. We've had to resort to taking it down when we're not using it and typing it to a piling with a bungee cord. Which means it's a bit of a hassle to use it. Bah!
