Monday Was For The Birds
I don't seem to have accomplished anything of merit today.
I know that's the intended goal of "vacation" but today sort of slipped away without any evidence of productivity.
We never made it to H.H. Gregg - at least not as of this writing. I'm not overly confident we'll get that issue resolved because tomorrow will be consumed by the need to pack, get to the airport, etc.
As I write a yellow finch is engaged in a battle outside the window of my in-law's computer room.
He - I'm assuming it's a "he" since the behavior appears to be somewhat senseless - is fighting his reflection in the window.
This has been the highlight of my day...and perhaps a metaphor for it as well.

Yes! That is a Male Goldfinch. The females are more drab in color.
I planted wild flowers in one corner of the yard next to the driveway and now that they are blooming and making seeds, they are constantly being visited by several pairs of Goldfinches. My wife was trying desperately to get a picture of them last evening through the picture window but by the time I showed her how to turn off the flash to avoid the reflection of it, they were gone.
Funny how male birds and human males are so much alike. Flashy, colorful and agressive, fighting the wind and singing a bragging song.
