We have guests.

We do. We have guests.

They're black, have shiny iridescent feathers, speak much too loudly in the mornings and eat everything they can find in our yard. They're pretty good at cleaning the place up after the winter birds have worked the yard over with a variety of seeds.

Crows do have their place in the scheme of things.......but by the time July rolls around, I'm sure they will have worn out their welcome!!

Haven't even seen a robin in the yard yet. Confound it. I hope the black blighters aren't keeping them away.

Speaking of guests, I still miss having cats. Petting them and cuddling them and laughing at them. I miss having them curl up on my lap or snuggle under the covers with me. I miss their presence, their wiliness and cunning, their little purrs and meows and high leaps over obstacles. I miss their independent style and fickle hearts. I miss the feeling I get of being cozy and comfortable when I'm with them.

I do think I would quite prefer a cat over a crow as a guest....wouldn't you?

Well, I'd really prefer my cousin Sue from Texas, but I'll have to wait a few weeks.......
