Purple Mountains Majesty

If you don't find me one day, I went rolling down a perfectly delicious hill at work. It is the perfect hill to roll down. It is just the kind that you could roll and roll and not come back from.
Mrs. Robin introduced me to it and ever since I have admired it from a distance. It is impudent, as well as immature for a 46 year old to roll down the hill at work. I guess that is why people ski. It is the thought of rolling down the hill on your feet. I couldn't think about going skiing but I would lay right down and roll down that perfectly manicured hill and thank humanity for letting me do so.
Decorum aside, of course; then, if I lived to tell about it, I would write about the feeling of rolling down that hill. I would imagine it is like the mountains at Rochdale which I was never brave enough or immature enough to roll down like everyone else. Life is too short to be too grown too soon.

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
