Tweet, tweet... Flop!

The other day, I was sitting here....enjoying my magazine
(reenactment)
and the scenery...and the quiet.

When out of the top of the basketball goal post came a strange rustling sound...and a few tweets.

And then out flew...oops I mean flopped...

this very cute little guy!


For the next few minutes, we all gathered around to watch this little baby bird learn how to fly right in front of our very eyes! He flapped and fluttered and flapped some more. He chirped and cheeped and looked at us as if to say....I've got this! We cheered him on...and then he was gone...just like that! We cheered some more! Then we went on back to whatever it was that we were doing.


Life is happening all around us! 
Enjoy today!
