It was a perfect Spring Sunday in South Australia today.

In the spirit of rebirth and new beginnings, I thought it would be a graceful gesture to make peace with my avian adversaries. Some of you may remember that winter was awash with bellicose encounters with our fine feathered friends. Well, it has been a long and – for both sides – relatively fruitless campaign. Both birds and Free Men still occupy the same turf, neither cowed, neither beaten. I thought it was time to step up and be the bigger man (or bird) and to extend an olive branch.

Boy Z marched onto the field with a peace offering…

…which was gratefully received by the opposition.

Former combatants joined together in a veritable feast of love and peace.

Unfortunately, there are apparently a few dead enders left out there.*

This track is one of my favorites from Patti Smith’s seminal “Horses” which can be purchased at Iron & Wine - The Creek Drank the Cradle or, even better, your local independent record store.
