ON THE BACK BURNER

I had a little bit of excitement  today. I guess that I didn’t close the door securely enough and when I got back from a Dixie walk, there were two birds in the trailer. My first reaction would have been to call my son or DiL. lI knew that they were not home. Then I figured that I had better see 

what I could do on my own. I caught one bird pretty quickly and let him fly away. I could feel his heart beat going out of control. Then the second bird. He wouldn’t  let me catch him, but he did manage to make me fall against the kitchen table. With that , he fell to the ground and I was sure that I had killed him. But I never found him. Not a body or a living bird. I think that while I was regaining  my balance ,he flew out of the opened door. That was pretty exciting.Then , because I remembered that a bird in the house was either good luck or bad luck, I had to go  on Google and find out which superstition I wanted to believe. I took the one that said that I was a kind person for catching the bird and letting him out.
