A Wake Up Call


This morning, far too early for our liking, a tiding of magpies was just outside the bedroom windows squawking super loudly.  It sounded like they were fighting and arguing over something.  I even got up to peer out and try to determine what they were carrying on about.  It was incredibly irritating and not a happy beginning to a Saturday morning when we had hoped to sleep in just a bit.  

Shortly after we got up, Kent was in Blythe's room "playing."  I said to Kent, "The magpies were certainly vocal this morning.  I wanted to shoot them."  

Kent agreed.  


Blythe however, did not.  Although it appeared that she wasn't paying much attention, working as she was on Kent's hair, she immediately said, "No. Magpies are part of nature."  I guess we'll just have to suffer early morning wake up calls from our feathered friends.
