I love Mom and Dad. I truly do. Mom gives me my milky treat every morning, Dad gives me little scritches and appreciates my ocelot-y nature. But yesterday, they failed me. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the next couple of days.
You see, yesterday, Dad poured the last of the seed into the bird feeder. They've known for days that they were running out of bird seed, and have been commenting on how quickly the birds have been eating it. They really should have anticipated running out of seed and gone out to get MORE.
This morning I watched a couple finches snatch the last seeds in the tray. A sparrow came later and examined the hulls and scraps left there, and flew away. The squirrels and the chipmunk have eaten the last of the fallen seeds from the grass. The rabbit has started eating the flowers on the other side of the steps, and I can't see over there.
The window is cracked open, it's a lovely day, but there's nothing to watch. It's going to be a long, long day. Come home soon, Mom and Dad. Bring bird seed.
