• “Fully lined”

  This spring when we started
  brushing the horse and dogs to get their winter coats off them, the
  white fur was flying all over the pasture.  We collected buckets
  of it.   I predicted to Becca that every bird’s nest on the farm
  would be lined with horse or dog hair this year.

  The other day I was out mowing the lawn after a storm.  Under a tree I found a tiny nest that had blown down in the storm:
  

  This year’s model is fully lined with horse-hair upholstery.  The
  chassis is delicately woven out of grass with a bit of orange baling
  twine thrown in for accent.
