I enjoy our mockingbirds. They annoy some people because they are so loud, but I love creative song. We had one that would mimic the sound of our lab's squeaky toy in the backyard. LOL.
Time to fix dinner. Have a nice evening, everyone.
My boss still thinks I’m crazy—he thinks that anyway, but in a good way! :)
I was at work about 5:30 one morning, pinching the mums. Trying to get it done before it got hot and customers started coming in. Can’t deal with heat,and this was mid-July. I’m sitting on a milk crate, everything totally peaceful around me, pinching mums. Suddenly I hear—Hello, pretty bird, and a whole series of whistles that a parakeet would do. I look around—there’s no one and nothing. Okay, maybe I’m still asleep. I keep pinching. I hear it again. I look around, scan the piece of woods and undergrowth that line one side of the store’s property. There’s a mockingbird! He sat there and repeated that over and over. I laughed until I couldn’t breathe. Of course he shut up when my boss came in, and he’s never done it since. Talk about Michigan J Frog! LOL
