itchyI thought I'd come out here to the picnic table, check my email, maybe address some post cards. I grabbed my computer, my mail stuff box, my water. I sprayed my feet and hands with a little mosquito spray. As I walked out front to the table, I saw the fat cat, Marilyn, trotting by with a bird in her mouth. I set my stuff on the table and followed her, cooing about what a nice and pretty girl she is oh yes a pretty girl now stop and put the bird down already. Eventually something must have worked cause she stopped, set it down and it just lay still on the ground. I walked over and she took off but I saw that it was alive. It opened its mouth and made a sound at me that I have no idea how to spell. A little bird noise. Use your imagination. It lay on it's back and I scooped it up in my cupped palm. Almost immediately it went to sleep. Cute little thing. I took it in the house and, holding it in one hand and working with my other, I found a cardboard box (hey it's handy sometimes doing all the online shopping I do!) and a towel. I started fluffing up some cotton and made a little cushy bed on top of the towel in the box. I tossed the cotton I didn't need back into the drawer. For some reason this woke it up and it made it's noise again and fluttered a bit, flipping over in the process. Then it went to sleep again. So I sat in a chair at the kitchen table holding the sleeping bird. After a while it woke up and when I tried to get it a little better situated it fluttered around some more and landed in my lap. It let me pick it up again and I put it in the box I readied earlier. That's where it is now. It looks like a baby. It's wing is a little gimped up and it's missing a few feathers but it doesn't seem too bad off. My grandma is going to try to figure out what it is so she has a better idea what to do with it and how to feed it. It's shaped like a blue jay. But just a little baby one. And cute.
Also, there is an inch worm under my :/; key and some weird looking bug under my F8 key. My yard is buggy.
