Birdies

Today the weather is the type that makes me feel glad to be alive. It's summery with a light breeze, and most importantly the air smells good - warm and fresh like clean sheets. I went outside for lunch and sat in the park, where there was live music, and where there were sparrows dust-bathing. They are so adorable. I love the way they hunker down in a patch of bare soil and vibrate all over, shivering their wings in the dust. They almost look like wind-up toys gone nuts.
