EVERYBODY'S DYING

Remember that awful news a few days ago about the baby bird that got stepped on while I was milking?


It happened again.


yesterday.


I didn't witness it this time, but there was a new baby bird, so I quickly picked it up and moved it away.  A minute later it came back, this time out of my reach.  I resigned myself to let it be as it sat on the black water hose.  I never should have turned my back.


After finishing the opposite side of the parlor, I looked back, and the bird was gone.  My heart started beating faster.  When the cow was finally done milking and released, my worst fears were confirmed when a ball of feathers lay where the heiffer's foot once stood.

It's been a rough week.
