The Chronicles of Nickerson - Seeds of Death

Spring time is a time of new life. Everywhere there are buds on the plants and eggs in the nests. And as the temperatures rise and the flowers bloom, the first of the spring birds bashes it's brains out on the windows of Nickerson with a resounding BOOM throughout the house. Spring has arrived with a bang and keeps knocking throughout the summer.

Last week my husband and I were sitting on the back deck as the sun went down. He on the steps under the windows with his laptop (appropriately) on his lap and me at the table facing him. We were chatting about who-the-hell-knows-what when suddenly he heard something, ducked and put his arms over his head. Just then a dove spent it's last happy moments of life flying at full dove speed into the window directly over Charlie's head. Bird seed rained out of sky covering Charlie from his bald head to his period key. We have no idea which end of the bird the seed came out of, but there was sure a lot of it. Like the bird was a pinata hit by the blindfolded child that is our house.
