I was looking out my kitchen window after hearing the very loud chirping going on outside. "Wow!" I said to Steve "Look at all those birds!" They just kept coming and coming...I didn't get a picture of the ones lurking in the trees. We were having flashbacks of the movie The Birds...where you couldn't go outside without getting pecked to death. "What will we do ...what will we do???" "How do we know we won't get pecked to death???" We did what any good horror movie character does...convinced someone to go out there and check it out...and just like any good horror film...the eager one...the cocky one...who thinks they are invincible goes first. Douglas volunteered...he is the fastest runner you know. We watched with horror to see what the flock would do to our boy... oh the horror!!!! He must really love us to sacrifice himself for the good of his family... what a good boy.
First he tried to sneak up on them...then he ran straight at them...without a hint of fear. Face the Fear Boy...Face the Fear!
Can you believe they just flew away? Gee whiz.
Our conquering hero sauntered back to the house.
"That was fun!" he declared.
That happened in our front yard one time right after it rained (I took pictures too!). I'm thinking a bunch of worms came to the surface or something because of the rain?!?
