The Egg

The other day I was mowing the lawn. A task which continues to get shorter I'm happy to report.

And I came across this in the grass:


As is obvious to even the most casual observer, an egg. In the grass.

With nary a killdeer or nighthawk in sight.


I put it on one of the cinder blocks which define out back fire pit.  cinderblock This was over nine days ago.


It is still there this morning. Curious. There were five raccoons in the yard the other night. And opossums are regular visitors.

Even more curious is that I could not figure out where it came form. I found no nests in the surrounding trees, Nor any birds flying about looking for nor tending one.

A mystery.
