And the natural disasters continue. Not only do we have dying birds, we have falling trees. A third of the big old redbud tree in the backyard decided to give up the ghost yesterday. Amazingly, it didn't even damage the fence that goes right behind it. It's not tall enough/close enough to the house to be a danger to us, luckily, but it could've easy broken the fence.

Hmmm. Hopefully this doesn't mean the two giant, hundreds-of-years-old trees that are closest to the house and could crush it easily are gonna fall sometime soon.

The summer just gets more and more exciting as June rolls on...

I went outside the other day and scared myself half to death... i saw a dead little baby bird on the side of our driveway. No clue how the thing got there, the only tree close enough is in the neighbors yard, which is about 100 feet away... I think the poor litle birdied didn't want to live anymore and flung itself out of the tre.
Anyway, I thought of your house when I saw the thing and prayed our house wouldn't have a curse on it with a bunch of dead birds around it. =)

Maybe it tried to fly before it was ready?

Hopefully you don't have the dead bird curse. I think our dead bird curse is more because Cricket likes to kill things, though, so you're probably safe. ;)

Yeah.. I think that's what happened.. or maybe his brothers and sisters didn't like him and tossed him out!! - but I'm being paranoid... he probably tried to fly too early, then hopped over to our driveway.. poor thing.

Oh okay... our dog doesn't kill things... thankfully. If he did kill anything it'd be cause he was barking at them to death. Gah... Beagles.
