as i sit here to type this, wondering why in the world we had yet another bird casualty this year, it suddenly occurred to me…i had my windows professionally washed this spring! my first time ever. and we have had more dead birds this year than all the previous seven we have been in the house. well, i guess it means it will be at least another seven before i do that again.
