There is this beautiful little bird that flits in and out of my daily life.   She wears beautiful colors and smells of flowers.  Mon petit oiseau is Miss Ashton Balinger.  She dresses in the most beautiful things - lovely little dresses, dainty high heels, and feathers in her hair.  I like to watch Ashton leave or come home from work.  This is where the bird part comes in - she quickly passes through the living room, layers of fabric flowing behind her, clicking across the hardwood floor, and leaving a wave of floral scents behind her.
