We had a great first weekend of summer! We had Kimmie, Jared, and Caleb come and visit for the first swim of the year.
Mark and Kimmie discussing the comfort of the lounge chairs in the sun...
We also had the opportunity to celebrate Kimmie's birthday and Father's day. It feels like old times again seeing the Herbert's this often!
Caleb couldn't get enough of Jared making a big splash with repeated cannonballs!
The water was very nice and warm... lucky for Jared.
Mark and I also saved a baby birdie that was abandoned. We left our ladder leaning up on the house under the patio cover in the backyard and within hours it became the home of a couple of Mourning Doves. They made a nest on the top, and then there was tragedy... the neighborhood cats began harassing the birdie family. We made a few saves as we shooed the cats away, but one morning, the birds didn't return. Mark looked and saw an egg still in the nest. A few days passed and the egg hatched!!! But we were sad that there was no mama bird to take care of this little bird. So Mark called the local wildlife rescue and they told us to bring the little one in... So we carefully put the nest in a box and drove him to the rescue. We don't know if he made it yet, but we are glad that we did our part to help our new neighbor.
This is the little birdie as Mark was trying to feed him, but was unsuccessful.
We hope he is ok!

Thanks for hosting us - we had a great time. Any word on how your rescued bird is doing?
Perhaps if Mark had chewed it up first it would have been more appealing... ;o) Well done with the rescue!
Oh it looks so fun, we went home to early. And the bird Adam would have let it die.. way to go Mark!!!
Kathy, FIY Mark DID chew the food first... haha. He's so dedicated.
Kimmie, we haven't checked on him yet, I will let you know!
I chewed it real nice like. Nothin' says good eatin' like regurgitated salami and cheddar.
