: i love the parrots on your street!!!!!!! one day, a while back, someone asked me if i had a favorite road. i had to think for a moment and then shared this: i was driving one day, i think to lakeshore learning center by your house, and i was driving down some road (which at the time i couldn't remember what road it was, just that it was by kennedy), and as i was driving and admiring the houses and the trees (ooooh i love trees so much i should live in one!) out of no where, and quite suddenly, a flock of the most beautifully bright green birds swooped down in front of my car. it was so completely unexpected, afterall, where in the middle of tampa do exotic birds just appear. i was sooooooo very happy that i had goosebumps and made all these ooh ooh ooh's and giggles, i practically stopped in the middle of the road because it was such and awesome moment. truly made my day!!!!! its wonderful to find god's beauty in unexpected places, it makes me all warm in fuzzy inside <3
these parrots are aliens and i think you are even allowed to shoot them. but not me, i like aliens naturally moving into my local habitat, unless they are deadly viruses or something.
