I like the idea. I like that First Reader is doing well. I think the illustrations in today's post are great. I hope you get better soon but I think the time of allergens is upon us.
> Our back yard is a pond, right at the moment, with a creek flowing into it from the neighbor’s yard.
When it rains here extensively we get a pond in our sizable backyard where we kept my wife's horses. Due to their preferences for eliminating, we ended up calling the pond "Lake Pony-Caca". (hopefully that's not too outré of a comment - it was inspired by an Animaniacs song)
The first thing I thought of - and I don't mean this sarcastically - was that this would be a great way to spin/parody the infamous "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." Instead of empty philosophizing, something real and gritty and useful.
You know, I've heard references to that, but until today had never bothered to look it up. It's not at all what we are doing, I think? I don't think I'll read Jonathan Livingston Seagull though, very much not my cup of tea. I'll put up the first chapter of Supporting Ragnarok soon to see what my readers think.

That is hilarious. I suppose the grass really is greener after!

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is actually one of my top 5 favorite books. I've read it probably 10 times.
