Birds

We have a birdbath in back. Adult robins splash enough to almost water the nearby flowerpots for us. Generally they perch, hop in, splash like mad, hop out, and then fly somewhere to preen.

Not the teenagers. They monopolize the birdbath for maybe three times as long, as they stand there preening in the bath.

At least they don't use all the hot water.

On first glance, I thought this post started, "We have a bloodbath out back."

As someone who was raised on a diet of 'if it bleeds, it leads' news, I must admit to a small twinge of disappointment when I clicked to read more.

Still, punk kids these days, eh?

We had teenagers in the house for years.
