August 10
On the drive home from church, I saw an old man in an A’s cap watering his front lawn. A robin was tossing a mud-covered worm around near one of my rosebushes. A chickadee leapt up from the birdbath with soaked feathers and flew up into the magnolia tree. Another robin stood on the edge of the birdbath and then hid in the hedge.
I urged him to jump into the water.
