Summer Update



July 5, 2020


HAHAHAHA!!! As if anything is really happening!

OK, so I was out walking this morning. The first thing I saw when I walked out of my house was a hot-air balloon high above the tree outside my front door. I could hear the gas jets hiss as the balloonist made adjustments. So I looked at it for a few minutes, and waved at the balloonist just in case s/he could see me, and went on my way.

On my way home from the walk, a yellow bird zipped by me and came to rest in a nearby tree—very high up. I knew that there would be no point in going to get my binoculars, because birds ALWAYS fly away when you go for the binoculars; but it stayed there so long that I thought I'd take a chance. So I jogged home to get the binocs; and on my way out the door I could see that the balloon was still visible far away, so I trained the binoculars on it for a while, then went back to the tree. And the bird was still there! 

And the SECOND I aimed the binoculars at it, it flew away.


Birds are just like that.
