For the first time, ever, Peanut took a nap on my shoulder — head tucked back, eyes closed, totally asleep. It was his mid-morning nap, and I was resting on the couch, a bit tired myself. So he was pretty well-protected, with my neck on one side, and the back of the couch on the other. He started out preening, but then I realized he'd stopped moving. I craned my neck and strained my eyes, and there he was, asleep. I stayed very still, for about 15 minutes. For all that Peanut sleeps in my hand, and flies to my head, this is the first time he's ever felt safe enough, I guess, to sleep on me.
