My Shangi Ri La

My Shangri-La will have tigers as guards a plenty. It will have peacocks, toucans, and doves, maybe twenty. A steampunk air ship will haul my friends to carnivals and fairs. A bald eagle will become my companion, along with some bears. My Shangri-La will include monarch butterflies, beautifully painted. There will be a sense of fantasy and reverence, feeling quite sainted. There will be monkeys chittering with new ideas high up in the trees. The weather will always be perfect, with maybe a sweet tiny breeze.

Oh boy, this is my kind of place, but I'd like some hummingbirds, please?

How in the world did I forget them? My daughter gave me a beautiful glass hummingbird birdbath; unfortunately, between the gardeners and Buddy, I cannot have any glass in my yard! The gardeners have managed to BREAK every piece of glass with flying rocks from their mower and that was before Buddy!
