We have an abundance of baby birds in our yard right now. This little robin was sitting on the fence by our sliding glass door, calling for his mother, and he was loud. She eventually came back for him, and had a nice fat worm in her beak. We also have a bird house that is a little too close to our bedroom window. We've had about 3 clutches of baby sparrows in it this year, and the newest group just fledged this morning. It was really cool to see them emerge from the nest box, and look all around. They look just about fully feathered, even tho' their little wings are just that: little. But they're a bit noisy, too. These guys all look small next to our parrots, especially the Amazons.
Congrat's to cousin Rick who finished the St. Mary's Triathon in Huntington yesterday. I was worried about him, but he did good. If you want to read about what he had to say about the race, just click the Goatrope link on the left sidebar. Also, his mom was up here last week, and we had a nice visit. She is looking good, and she and mom had a good visit, even tho' it was hotter than hades. I want to sit out on my deck, and I can't breathe the humid air, and can't stand the heat, period. Come on September. You'll see that phrase uttered a lot.
Marco is just about finished with Scott's basement, and it's looking good. We were teasing the kids about school starting in 3 weeks.....which I can't wait for. Maybe it'll be cooler then.......
No other gossip or anything right now. Nothing much on our calendars. Amy's new baby is due on the 26th, but that's a couple of weeks away. I got a DVD of the Jim Carrey movie "23" to watch sometime....maybe this evening. Looks kinda good, but didn't hear much about it at the boxoffice. I'll let you know.
So folks, again, nothing being said, but want to keep this up and running.
Take care,
Prends soin de toi!
