Today, the sliver I got from the rake on Saturday has worked its way out of my finger but the other sliver from a thorny vine is still deeply embedded. Today, the burn on the back of my neck from a moment of carelessness with a curling iron is all scabby and doesn't hurt anymore. People say it looks better in terms of healing and skin integrity but I bet it doesn't look so good as a random thing to look at. Today, I saw a naked bird on the bottom shelf of the buffet table on the deck. While I was in California a few weeks ago, some crazy ass robin built the nest in the plastic basket where I keep my gardening miscellany and the dog's tennis balls.
Don't you think it's a little late in the season for baby birds?
A robin built a nest on the light fixture of our garage a few months ago and the baby birds grew up and flew away.
Then, another robin moved in and SHE had babies. They just flew away last week. I thought it was late, too.
Plus, there has been some kind of robin population explosion this year. They are EVERYWHERE.

We have no baby birds around here but I do have a very fat kitty cat. A bit of cause and effect in action there.

When the weather turns this fall, the Assrobins will migrate down here. Crazy Assrobins tend to stay in the cold.
