This morning we opened the bedroom window and raised the shutter only to find a small, whitish egg lying in one of the flower boxes.  Was it always there, asked Julie.  No, I said, but whose is it?

We didn’t have to look in the book of birds to find out.  Not too long after, we saw a pidgeon sitting on the egg.  Pidgeons require 18 days to hatch an egg.  Usually there are to eggs, only one egg is a bad sign.  I suppose being too lazy to make a nest is a bad sign too.

What will become of this egg?  I didn’t say it out loud but just between you and me, I think it will never hatch.
