dads visit


when we went down to D C two years ago dad came over to visit with his latest grandson me and Melissa. Well of course we had to do alot of walking and one day on the mall a robin was following us from dirt patch to dirt patch as we walked the sidewalk.  I smiled and told dad I had gotten that male robin worked up and he was trying to call me out.  Dad insisted the robin was just on a worm hunt and it had nothing to do with me.  Well the bird kept flying to the next dirt patch clawing the dirt up and staring me down chirping away (about 16 years back I went down to show dad his first grandchild Adem and we discoverd a white robin in his back yard to debate about)this went on for about 10 minutes and was a lot of fun watching and debating the birds behavior.

Well are Aunt Joehanna was telling me of how she gets a visit from time to time from her dad in the form of a blue bird and to be on the look out because Raymound will be able to drop in and say hi from time to time to me .

there I was four days ago on the computer wasting time kind of looking up new wood boilers when I hear a knock on the window, I look and no one is around.  I go back to wasting time a thump a louder knock. Well I know it's a bird and I open the window to see if it will fly in the room. The next thing I know there's the sound of a landing bird.  I look it's gone.  I go back to wasting time here he comes again this time he starts chirping callin me out, stop wasting time, I look and he's gone before I can set an eye on him.

I got up and turn off the computer and went for a walk with my new friend the robin flying just ahead of me along are road chirping and a scratch'n,  telling me what's what.

so is it just me or can you see Dad eating worms?
Well if they were healthy you know he would at least try them... if not eat a beak full (I mean mouthful) every day...
Rock on Rockin Ray Robin!
