Who's up at 5:02 a.m.?

All the birds, that's who! Well, not all. The chelated woodpecker waited until 5:52a.m. He didn't sing of course, he pecked VERY LOUDLY! : Three short pecks and  three long, Three short pecks and seven long, Three short pecks and ten long. While I was tring to decipher his code, he finished his breakfast in 7 minutes, at 5:59.  The neighbors heating unit came on with a resonating vengeance at 6:15, just when the massive wood pecker decided he was on to the second course. Mama Mia! And I'm not even Italian. But please God , just let me get one more hours sleep!  6:45 all went quiet. Dragged out of bed at 8:45....... this day went to the birds. HA!! (Though I did manage a good hike with my hubby and pooch down to Dear Creek and back.)
