Sheryl Crow came to visit today after deciding to please her father, Russell, by showing him, on Fathers' Day, how well she could fly. Unfortunately, Sheryl can't really fly yet so she spent the day in our bushes with her family circling overhead, calling instructions and encouragement. Crow families are pretty cool.
Nancy and I joined in on the encouragement side, hoping to convince her that she could fly so she would stop relieving herself on our steps. She spent part of the day on the window ledge, not a great place to be as our cats love to sit in the window. I helped her go back to the shrubs with the aid of a broom--she hopped on it when I thrust it at her--and with a little Outward Bound sort of encouragement.At one point, Wilbur/Too, the cat from down the street (we don't know whether he is Wilbur or Too) came to visit and the Crow family rallied with Russell dive-bombing Wilbur/Too and driving him away. That Russell, always reprising his roles.
Sheryl is bedded down for the night in our camellia, but the family is still overhead. We will see what tomorrow brings--Sheryl reunited with her family, or ...

I hope Sheryl learns how to fly so she doesn't become meat on hoof! Or whatever you'd call it...
