Things I get to do today include blowing the results off the patio. This morning's ritual moved smoothly until my eye reached this fellow--fortunately before the wind of the leaf blower caught up to him.

| Drunken Robin survived his window |
He was one of many of his fellows who feast on the blued fruits of the Porcelain Berry vine. The nearby house window looked like the path to freedom in the skies. Not so. He crouched on the patio without moving as I quieted the leaf blower. A big leaf had lodged on his beak and head. As I pulled off the leaf and took his picture, he remained motionless, waiting patiently for his wits and senses to return which they eventually did. When his drunk wears off, will he remember?
Oh, poor thing.
