Miss Mich's Nest Theory

Dear hearts,

As Miss Mich was sharing a glass of something clean and fruity last night with Miss Mellie on the line, we began to discuss Easter. It was then that it occurred to me that one really should not put all of one's eggs in any one basket.

Miss Mich is a fan of the Lindt bunny, and the bright young things look forward with delight and anticipation to their gold bunny each Easter. It's just not Easter Sunday without You know Who rising from the dead and a big chunk of Swiss brown.

But back to the baskets... Miss Mich has made the mistake, perhaps, of thinking that one nest will satisfy all eggs. With experience and hindsight, I am now not so sure.

What may be perfectly acceptable for the sunbirds at the cottage (onto the third clutch of eggs in this one nest), is not necessarily the right "one size fits all" for Miss Mich.

One should have a nest for sport. Big, beefy and with stamina to satisfy and provide a good hard game. There are rules of course, and they are all mine.

One nest for academic challenge. This nest may be feathered with literature, poetry leaves, politics and a sharp wit.

Another nest for amusement. Being silly, laughing, feeling like a teenager and indulging like one. It would need to be quite a capacious nest, because when Miss Mich is being silly, she is quite uncordinated and falls over a lot...

The last nest is only little and in the highest branches of Miss Mich's tree. This is the nest with the softest down and the most protection. Miss Mich has not climbed into this one for some time and can't imagine when she will, or with whom, but it is important to know it is there. Just in case.

So there you have it, dear hearts. Miss Mich's Nest Theory. Sit on it for a few days and see what hatches.

Enjoy Hump Day.

Love Miss Mich
