Birds

Here's our little nest. Do you see their heads sticking out? Happily, the three remaining birds are doing well -- four days after the catastrophe that shook us all (me more than others). Even the one that hopped all the way to the sandbox has stayed put. I guess it's just bird instinct -- stay where you are or plunge to the ground 15 feet below. Smart birds. But today I saw them teetering on the edge of safety -- they have gotten really big, and I believe it's only a matter of days before they leave us for the great big world beyond.
