Tickled Pink

We got back an evening walk to a flock of flamingos in our front yard. We’d been “flocked,” which seems to be a new—to us, at least—and creative fundraising strategy for local businesses. This effort was for a preschool where one of our neighbors works, and we were more than happy to flock it forward to our friends. But before the birds migrated to other lawns, the kids took turns galloping around the front with the plastic birds as if they were stick horses.
