Half-Price Sale in Polychrome Heroics

Today is the last day of the half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics.  There are plenty of poems left if you still want to buy some.  Remember that ng_moonmoth is hosting a pool, so you can get in on that if you wish.

Birdfeeding

I went out to feed birds today.  It's trying to rain.  I keep hearing thunder and the ground is a little wet.

I heard the distinctive KEE-ARR of a red-tailed hawk.  I looked up but couldn't see it.  Then I heard it again.  When I walked in the direction of the sound, the hawk flushed out of a tree in our yard.  :D  I think they're drawn to all the sparrows hanging around the birdfeeders.  Or possibly the squirrels.
