I have to relay this story - I wish I had pictures, but one never knows when something like this will happen. Tuesday evening, I was in the backyard looking around at how much of a jungle my grass had turned into. Michelle came out with Quin and we started talking about things we'd like to do to the yard (plant a tree here, take down the clothes-posts here, things like that), when all of the sudden a bird hopped out of the really long grass. Now, normally if you get too close to a bird, it takes off. This one did not as it looked very young. I stomped the ground near it to get it to fly away. As I did, a robin flies down screaming right at Michelle's head! I mean, this bird is majorly angry - I was probably stomping too close to one of it's chicks.
Anyway, this bird literally dive-bombed Michelle who ran away screaming from the screeching bird. It landed on the ground and continued to screech until we went away. I seriously felt like I was living a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's film, The Birds. A little creepy, but it was funny at the same time! Just a funny story I wanted to share. To quote a character in the movie: "It's the end of the world!"

The poor bird! Just think, what would you do if someone stomped at Quin? You probably dive bomb them, too!
Birds are creepy, but pretty. I know Steph was wearing Chad's football helmet in order to get in her car for awhile.
