You discovered worms this week. Their slime did not deter you, you collected at least a dozen and giggled as they crawled in your hands. They vacationed in our kitchen for a couple of days.Trudy discovered something this week, as well. A beautiful and patient mama dove and nest in our gutter.
I've noticed whenever you take any creature into your care, the first thing you offer them is food. In mama bird's case, you asked me "What do birds eat?' When I explained 'worms and birdseed,' you immediately thought of the slippery guys in the backyard.
So today we deputized you as our Backyard Sheriff. You've been keeping the closest eye on the birdfeeder - making sure it remains full luring hungry birds off the ground. And if you do see a curious bird on the ground poking around, you yell, "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot, bird, shoot!" and report "I shooted the bird, mom" although I'm pretty sure you mean to say 'shoe,' since we don't advocate shooting birds in our home - literally or proverbially.
