The Uninvited Guest

I thought I should mention, that if you are visiting to link up with Mom n' Me Monday, the lady here at the Peanut Gallery is taking a small hiatus from her own meme.  Yes, I'm sure that is inappropriate blog behavior. However, I am extremely afraid of  "blogging" commitment in the summer.  I explained it a little more here.

**************************************

Now, because we love the outdoors here at the Peanut Gallery...

And because my children have never learned to close a door.

We discovered that a little birdie was paying us  visit.

I must say, it was a bit disconcerting.

Having a bird circling your head is not as "magical" as one might think.

Now, if it had landed on my shoulder...that would have been magical.

But no, this little birdie was desperate to escape the prison he had so unknowingly stumbled into.

After last year's incident,

the one where a little bird flew into our window with such gusto,

that he immediately fell dead to the ground...

I was not enjoying the antics of this little birdie.

He kept madly crashing into the plethora of windows in our dining room.

I was sure he was killing brain cells with each crushing blow.

We opened the window, hoping his next flight would earn his freedom.

However, he wasn't buying it.

Apparently this little birdie "learned" from his mistakes.

He flew into my kitchen and found this comfortable little spot up under the cabinets.

Can you find the him in this picture??

It's kind of like a "where's Waldo".

Here's a closer look.

Because he's cute and all.

In all my wisdom, I figured it would be best to leave him alone for awhile.

Surely he would eventually find his way to one of the open doors or windows.

As you can see, D-man had a different feeling about the matter.

However, after many failed attempts to get Mr. Birdie out from behind the cabinets, he gave up and went back outside.

Tonight, as far as we know, Mr. Birdie is no longer behind the cabinet. 

It is my sincere hope that he is nestled comfortably into his nest.

But, just to be safe, I'm sleeping with my head under the covers tonight.

Does Alfred Hitchock's "The Birds" ring a bell?

*********************************************

I am sad to say, I am taking a self inflicted blogging break this week.

I'm on the war path.

Watch out clutter and disorganization.

You have lived your last days here in my home.

It is my goal to tackle every drawer in this home.

Just typing that makes me cringe.

But I must!

If I am to remain sane.

Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind.

On the blogging, that is!

So goodbye, for now, parting is such sweet sorrow.
