Miss Feathers flies south

"Oh, I'm going to miss this little house."

"Maybe someone will be able to enjoy it for the winter!"

"Miss Feathers, what are you doing?" I asked. "Why is there a FOR RENT sign on your house?"

"I'm flying south for the winter, Ajdin," she replied. "I listed it on Airbnb so perhaps someone will rent it out while I'm gone."

"Oh!" I was surprised.

"I have a timeshare in Florida," she said. "It will be so warm and sunny down there!"

"When will you be back?" I asked.

"In the spring, when the weather gets warmer here," she answered.

"We will miss you," I said. "I will miss you." I gave her a hug.

"See you soon!" she said, flapping her wings.

"Have a safe trip!" I called out.

Then she was gone.

Hmm, well that's a bummer.

But Miss Feathers will be back soon enough, right?

Spring isn't too far away... right?

"Hmm, I guess you're not used to this cold weather huh?  You also don't have fur like Uncle Tibbs and I do." I patted him on his green head.

"Oh, I know, Ooogie.  You can wear my hat."  I took off my hat and put it on him.

"Thaaaaaaaaaanks Aaaaaaaaajdin.  I'm muuuuuuuuuuch waaaaarmer nooooooow.  You're a greeeeeeeeeat paaaaaaaaaaal."
