| Upon on the roof and in the tree |
There are times that my idiocy makes me wonder how I make it through a day. This fall, when the leaves were falling from the trees, I happened to realize that we have these little pear berries on our trees. I looked at them and wondered out loud where they go, because in the spring, they will be gone. They are never there when the trees start to bud. They are never there when the buds turn to blooms. My favorite thing in the seasons is to see my little trees bud and bloom then later in the year to see the leaves turn orange and red then blow away (because I don't get to them quick enough for them not to blow to the neighbors house - OOPS).
Anyway, back to my naivete. A couple of weeks ago, KayeLynn mentioned that the trees were covered in birds eating the berries. I think I literally smacked myself in the forehead with the realization that my question from this fall had been answered.

Today I happened to come home to the same sight that KayeLynn had seen. Literally dozens of birds up in the trees, on the roof, on the ground - the ones in the trees grabbing at the berries, the ones on the ground eating the stuff that fell, the ones on the roof swooping down to get their turn here or there.
I sat in my car across the street just watching the birds for about ten minutes or so. I found it amazing and astonishing. I couldn't stop watching.
