We went the wrong way and hit traffic! ACHHHHHH!

13 geese and Mother Goose came to rebuke me again. She is quite the butinski these days, with me. I told you to stop telling your husband what to do. You are such a bossyboots. What do you expect? He is neither a mother nor a goose, give him some slack. I wanted to lambaste right into him. I told you that a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. What is that supposed to mean she said, Wing on hip. You would never understand Mother Goose. You are a goose, but I appreciate the sentiment.

She reminded me that the 13th gosling gets a kick out of standing in line. Look at my 13th. I don’t! All 13 of the geese flew in a straight line to calm me down. Lateness is not a character flaw for geese, we are always on time. Timing is our best quality. This is a goose joke, it is over your husband’s head. I did everything that I could not to laugh about it. I would probably be late. I had suggested, we go the other way, to no avail and here I was sitting in the obviously inevitable traffic jam. Nobody understood but Mother Goose. She said we have got to give mommy a laugh in the traffic. She was yelled at by dad this morning and she was accused of trying to boss him. She needs a laugh. I am glad that they always understand.

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
