Tipping Over Chicadees


Last evening, I was making salad for dinner and realized that we were out of carrots.

Michael volunteered to go to the garden and pull a few for me.

On his way to the garden in the dark of night,
Michael walked by one of our spruce trees
and was startled by a rush of chickadees!

They had been soundly sleeping,
so were just as startled by Michael as he was of them!

They flew away in a buzz of wings.

I wonder how long it was before they came back to bed?

If we get bored at night, Michael suggests that we go chickadee tipping!
