Drama at the Clothesline

Yesterday was the first time in a couple of weeks that I could hang my clothes out on the clothesline.  Other than cleaning the lint filter, nothing much takes places when I take wet clothes out of my washing machine and put them in the dryer.  Ah, but at the clothes line there was drama!

So yesterday the dog and I traipse out into the yard, and I start hanging up my stuff.  The line being about seven feet off the ground, forces me to look up when pinning my laundry.  I hear this seagull squawking and when I look up a little higher, I see the gull swooping in on a  red-tailed hawk.  The hawk seemed oblivious to the marauding seagull.  He just kept gliding in circles, riding the air currents. I could imagine the hawk mumbling under his breath, “You know I could eat you if I wanted to.”
