In which I have been meaning to post this since Sunday!

I can't quite seem to catch up. I'm writing the first Interlude and trying to plan a trip for my birthday in a month and I have to clean the house, and things are just a mess right now.

But...I was out on Sunday, walking and plotting the Much Ado year. I ended up in a park, going off-road as it were, looking for a sculpture, and I saw something flapping around in the branches of an evergreen. My first thought was, 'Wow.
