I used to love a cartoon called ‘Fables of the Green Forest’ when I was a kid — heard of it? (And if so, did you find Sammy Bluejay as annoying as I did???)  The show popped into my head the other day… and I put a little cheeky twist on it for today’s D.A.D. — Woodland swingers:

Have a terrific start to your week!
