I let the dogs loose a few hours ago, and they already killed another baby bird. It doesn't seem to be one of the ones that was in the nest; this appeared to be a young mockingbird. I think the other 2 they killed earlier this year were mockingbirds too.
I wonder if putting bells on the dogs' collars, like people sometimes do with cats, would help any.

Yesterday evening I was up on the sunroom roof. Still trying to find the source of the skylight leak, and looking for any carpenter ant activity.
I was sitting up there a long time. The air was nice and cool, and there weren't any mosquitos. Then I laid down (*) on my back for a while. The sky was a bland light-blue color. It was peaceful.
But it was a bland peacefulness. I still feel no purpose or meaning or happiness in life.
.
(*) I know that is incorrect grammar, but even though I looked up the correct usage, I can't bring myself to use it because it sounds so wrong to me. At first I mistakenly thought the correct usage was "I lied down", which is somewhat awkward, but definitely not as bad as the actual correct past tense "I lay down".
.
Oh, the poor parent birds. I buried the dead little one outside of the yard. But maybe the parents didn't even see what happened, and are now wondering where their little one is.
