Friday

It isn't a very creative title, but here are just a few of the things that happened today. 

After Harry got home from work, we went for a walk to the pond and the playground. On the way home we found this tiny baby bird that had fallen out of its nest (the small gray dot at the edge of the tree and grass). It was so sad because we couldn't find the nest to help the little guy get back home. His mother was sitting on a limb above us the entire time we were looking at him. Alaina was really sweet, she talked to the baby bird and she told him she was sorry that he fell out of the nest and that his mommy would take care of him. I really hope she was right. 

Yesterday we got a really nasty storm that knocked out our power for several hours. This is the worst of the damage in our neighborhood. This is the pond near the entrance and the playground and across from it was a large tree that came down in the wind. It also damaged the weeping willow next to it and I'm hoping that they won't have to cut down the willow now, too.
