Clocks

A few Christmases ago I bought Carol and Audubon Society Bird Clock. I thought it was cheesy to begin with but got used to it after a while. People who come to our home for the first time are always shocked by the sound of a singing bird every hour on the hour. My mother thought there was a bird in the house and said, “get the broom”. Anyway, now it seems no matter how fresh we keep the batteries and how we set it, the worn g bird chirps at the wrong time and sounds as though it’s dying. The Owl is the funniest with it’s plaintive, slow-motion “hoo hoo hooing”. Per haps now it is time for a new clock. If, by chance and I’m sure we are, staying with the weird clock thing, I would like to try the Xacta Radio Controlled Cuckoo Clock. It looks kind of cool.
