This
morning, I was standing at the sink and looking out the window. The
weather over the last few years has been rough on the backyard. The
sheets of plastic placed over lawn items have deteriorated and are
falling-off in strips and pieces.
The cats were outside and roaming about the backyard. A very enterprising bird darted just out of reach of the felines, grabbed a long strip of plastic sheeting, and flew to the highest tree top. It happened so fast!
After I thought about the snatch-and-fly event, I realized that even the birds are getting tired of the rain and cold. On the other hand, Spring must be close because the birds are feathering, or "plastic-lining," their nests.
The day is still gray, but soon we humans will be complaining about the heat....
