If I Could

If I could, I would find a bored extrovert to entertain Bob a few hours a week.

If I could, I'd find a park or nature setting to watch the creatures while Bob and his extrovert are doing their thing.

I'm not much of a country girl and have no desire to move to the country to stake my claim. I'm also getting too old to move too far from doctors and civilization.

You remember my recent attempt at attracting birds, crows in particular, and my request for one squirrel? That experiment didn't turn out so well, the crows never came, and three squirrels came rather than the one I requested. The squirrels proceeded to eat everything I'd put out for the birds, and crows in particular. While waiting for another handout the squirrels entertained themselves scampering across my upholstered patio furniture, and in general wreaking havoc with my pot plants.

If I could, I would live near a natural wooded area. There are lots of those around here and a lot of parks. Either would work. I just need to live close enough I could spend time watching birds and creatures of the forest in their natural habitat.

I've always been fascinated by crows. Crows are sometimes hard to love but they are entertaining. This morning I read about this crow, who interfered with a crime scene. Crows are very smart.


What would you do 'if you could?'
