07/07/2010 ***Think the homeowners' association is tough? This little mama has taken over our front yard. This is her post, my next door neighbor's gutter. From here, she guards our front yard and dive-bombs any living creature who dares to trespass. Yesterday, she chased a grackle all the way down the street. She hasn't attacked me yet. But she certainly had her eye on me when I was on the porch. I think there is a mockingbird nest in our oak tree. Happy birthday to the mama bird in my life, my step-mom, Mary Ann. Thank you for all the times you've protected me. I love you. :)
