Domestic affairs
I’ve got so much to say today, partly because I’ve been trying to spend less time on the computer in my free time, and more time doing .. anything else .. and that only gives me more to talk about on this blog. So, sorry to those dedicated blog readers for the lack of updates, and here’s hoping you’ll enjoy this one.
First thing to report, is that a cute little bird built her nest in the back corner of our outdoor storage area about two weeks ago, and her chicks hatched last week! For a week now we’ve been watching anxiously to see if she manages to feed the four little heads that we every now and then see sticking out of the nest. The nest is about as wide as Tim’s open hand, so you can imagine how small the chicks in the picture really are. It seems she’s doing her best, but how in the world she feeds herself and all four of them is beyond my comprehension. I imagine she can tell you it’s hard work being a mom. It’s supposed to rain off and on this week, for which we’re glad, since hopefully that will get those worms up out of the ground.
