the birds (comic by farmer steph!)

Today’s comic was drawn for me by my lovely wife Steph!

When young mockingbirds are leaving the nest and learning to fly by hopping around and perching on low-lying objects, their mothers and fathers defend them zealously. And if you’d created something this beautiful, wouldn’t you?

Mom and Dad won’t dive-bomb Steph or I, but they have recently made the yard totally unsafe for Lilly (who I don’t think even notices these little birds squawking and bouncing around.)
