The oldest baby bird already left the nest but I caught the two remaining robins working up the courage to leave their home.
I apologize for not posting about the baby robins in a more timely manner. The little darlings left the nest two weeks ago.
Momma Robin is currently up to her wingtips in a new puerperal insanity and is bringing more straw and dried grasses back to pad the old nest for the new clutch of eggs she intends to lay.
The empty nest!
It’s time for your handy-dandy writer’s vocabulary word of the day: PUERPERAL. It is an adjective pertaining to a woman in childbirth or used to describe something pertaining to or connected with childbirth.
Heh, heh, heh! Good luck trying to work that word into conversation outside of the medical field. It’s not that easy!
Special shout-out to my Chinese blog followers! “Ni zenme yang, wode pengyou?”
As a nurse, that is one word I would never have expected on a writing blog! Well done! I love being taken by surprise!
You never know what to expect from us nurses. We’ll surprise you at every turn, right Katie?
now… how do you pronounce that!
\pyü-ˈər-p#ə-#rəl\
hadn’t gone that far in premed I’d guess. Hee hee
Got to admit that you caught me on that word
My labor and delivery nursing roots run deep. I always loved this word!
