Olympic Results; Lovey

A cloudless, Colorado blue sky greeted me this morning, as well as a wonderful westerly breeze. We are experiencing "fall like" weather, according to the meterologists - highs in the mid- to low-80s, lows in the upper 50s, and thunderstorms every afternoon/evening. It was a delihgtful walk this morning!

Just before leaving to talk with my therapist yesterday, I heard a "thump" against the sunflower feeder (it's a wooden house), and was dismayed to see Lovey bring in a English sparrow. It was very much alive, and as she set it at my feet, I said, "Lovey! What a wonderful huntress you are! But, let's let the poor thing go, OK?" In an unusual response from her, she crunched down and instantly killed the little bird.
