Aline started having contractions around noon Thursday. By 5PM they were three minutes apart though not overly painful. We went to the General anyway just to see what the’d say. An exam around 7PM showed she was one centimeter dilated and about 50% effaced. A good start but not enough …
Still no baby.
Still no baby.
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.
My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
