The days have gotten lighter longer and the usual birds of spring are winging in. Robins many weeks ago, the swans and red wing black birds a few weeks ago, Today I saw the killdeer.

That's a great picture of a killdeer Carol Dee, did you take it?

I remember when dad and I were walking through a field near our home and the killdeer were flying in front of us and one did the fake hurt wing thing. That's when I learned their name and dad told me about them luring predators away from their ground nest by acting injured.

Yeah, just before naptime. Which comes before bedtime.

Potty time comes after that, after that, after that.

Then, comes sit in the lazyboy time ... unless, it's Garbage Day.

I've missed medication time but that may as well be all the time and fits in between open the fridge/microwave door time and shove food in the mouth time.

there are also: phone call from 1-800 # time and mail delivery time but that all falls into who cares time.
