Sweet Sorrow

I took a picture of the 2 remaining finch babies, since I may not get another chance. Yes, that's right...two of them have left the nest. It was so fascinating to watch the process as they were getting "urged" out of the nest by the father! It's as it should be - I'd be even more worried about them (and it wouldn't bode well for their future) if they never learned to fly. But it is bittersweet (you're right Erin.) I can't believe how much I miss 2 baby birds...and there are still two left! Get a grip, Susan. :)

So now I'm turning my attention to getting things done around here that we've put off for too long, such as getting estimates for having floors refinished, choosing paint for the "creative" room, and getting the yard whipped into shape. Well, that last one is a challenge because the mosquitoes have hatched and this year they seem bionic.
