Birds

[xiphias]

I was making Lis an omelette, and I saw a bird flit by the window, and perch on the side of the house. I could only see its tail, and couldn't figure out what it was -- it looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Then I heard, "taptap, taptaptaptaptaptaptap. . . " Fortunately, the woodpecker got bored before the house did. This is the first time I've been actually happy we have vinyl siding.

I didn't even know there were woodpeckers around here.
