“Behave or the Blgthrgths will get you!”
Teh children stopped and looked up at the ceiling corners fearfully.
The roosting Blgthrgths wriggled sleepily, but at any moment they could explode screaming from the ceiling in a shower of child disciplining mayhem!
I see my unnngghh from yesterday was contagious. I’m so sorry. Perhaps the house is undergoing some PMS...it can afflict the males as well as females.
Can you have Restorative early?
NiMH had a brother we called Tesla.
[Whom we never caught and whom later ran afoul of some idiot wih a car.]
NiMH was all excited by something down in theleaves below the porch which he told us about excitedly.
“Yip! Yip! Nyack, Nurk!”
Well, Tesla walked up and did the “I Loooooove you!” rub against you bump which knocked NiMH off the porch and down at whatever was in the leaves.
Which promptly squeeked and ran.
NiMH came stomping back up the steps to stare at his brother like, “I hate you.” with his whiskers angled downward.
I noticed something, nobody has video of bluebirds being the harbingers of destruction.
Watched a guy on a ten speed bicycle get chased by a bluebird.
Face this one is not on you.
Bluebirds are not happy little birds.
They are territorial little bolts of blue doom swooping down from nowhere to leave blue feathers up your nose, make you crash your bicycle, and then chase you across the cow field.
Which is what the missus and I saw one fine day from the safety of the interior of my car.
Too early for Restorative ... I have to drive more this afternoon: Elen to skating rink for Science Olympiad team social, Tom and Elen to church for Scouts mulching-activity, and then something else. Unnngh.
But at least I’ve put Kathleen to bed, so she can’t get hurt for a while. 41 degrees, unnngh.
Wonder if the report on the main board is accurate. This one needs clearing up in a hurry if inaccurate.
Oh, I was actually thinking of DP meeting the Blgthrgth. Not that Tom and James couldn’t benefit, too. At least it would muffle the noise ...
Having watched the feathered fiends do their thing, I cannot imagine how they were ever stuck with the moniker of “Bluebird of Happiness” except maybe as some sick prank.
They are territorial, much like Lovebirds can be.
The only thing I can point to is that maybe they signal Spring is definitely here.
Before they chase you screaming across a field.
He’d probably get it to perch on his shoulder and feed it snacks.
oh no .. a long hot summer coming?
Bill could take it to get a stylish haircut. Jamie-our-Hairdresser could apply the latest fashionable color and sell Blgthrgths as accessories on Etsy.com, along with purses and hairbows.
I’ll make sure you get a commission, or at least a coupon for a free haircut.
Long hot summer of blue feathery dooom!
Maybe.
Dunno yet, have yet to see one of the little blue terrors flitting about yet.
Have seen robins, grackles, and heard one redwing blackbird out here the other day.
Your very own personal security Blgthrgth [singular] or a suit of Blgthrgths for those moments where you really need to lay down the whuppin!
I'll confess have seen one within the last 108 hours.
Color-coordinated!
Brothers—haha!
Uh oh.
Was it by chance chasing neigborhood children away from aspecific tree?
Blue Blgthrgth suit, now available only from Pennys!
