herbert

on: May 23, 2006, 01:26:20 AM

ok. there's this robin that has adopted me, or i him. every morning and night he is in the backyard and tries to get as close to me as he can. i started calling him herbert (for herbert von karjian). he has this beautiful red chest that reminds me of a tux. he tilts his head and looks and then hops a few steps closer (within range of the hose).

i think herbert finds more worms once the ground is soaked. tommorrow, i expect that he will be right under my feet. it has been a profound backyard moment.

Last night there was a fox in my garden.

Today there is no fox.

Poor fox.

I have called it "stiff".

Philosophical? Feelings?? It's just that I hate dead flowers. It's nothing really.... nevermind....

I'm going to pick up my friend's keys tomorrow.

I have a teddy called Growly. He growls.

I don't have a teddy, I have a kitten and a cat.

What?

Thal, I would counsel against having a stiff in your garden. It might alarm the neighbours
