Some Birds For A Rainy Day (s)

    Because of the never-ending downpour, I have been locked up in the house with two women, two dogs and a three year old for the past few days.
    So out of sheer desperation, I finally had to go out and brave the deluge. Risking life and limb, I drove to Peace Valley Park and entered the
    Nature Center Bird Blind for a very much deserved diversion. I got every one of these delightful birds during what alliteratively would definitely
    have been just one more drippy, damp, dark, dingy, drab, dull, dismal, dreary, doubtful, dire, decidedly despicable, damn disgusting, dreadfully
    debilitating, disconcerting, disturbing, disastrous, dangerously dementing, deranging, demoralizing, drowsy, depressingly difficult, distressingly
    dazed, dawdling, droning, destructive, drenching, drowning, disagreeably dank, do-nothing day, and all the while deftly dilly-dallying, dutifully
    determined, to keep trying to delay and/or debar those deadly doldrums which otherwise could have resulted in destiny dooming me to daily
    dozing directly in front of the TV set instead of my druthers of deliberately doing diddly-squat!
