The babies are huge and are getting bigger and more bird-like every day. They no longer look like little half-plucked chickens. I am assuming that they will be fledging this weekend, so I have to keep an eye out for them when I let the dogs out, especially Bobby.

They stand up so high - even taller than Dad - to try to get their dinner.

I went to Home Depot today and had some fun. I bought some copper tubing for beads and a mountain laurel to plant in my empty planter box. I hope it takes. It looks like a nice one.


Martha said that I hadn't shown a picture of the light-up Buddha at night, so here it is. It's kind of blurry, but you can get the idea.
