Description

Unfortunately Queenie, according to Rosa, has a ripped wing and a broken leg. This probably accounts for her being so "tame". Queenie doesn't appear to have enough energy to sting anyone, which is probably a good thing. Right now, the girls have gone to bed, but not before Rosa made a bed of grass and clover flowers for her pet, complete with a "pillow" of folded tissue, in the shelter of the front door step.

I wonder if Queenie will still be there in the morning.
