THOSE CRAZY BIRDS

I've been noticing the mockingbirds flying close to the house lately. I figured they were building a nest in the gutters which would require Jordan to go up the ladder again and clean them out. Gee, was I wrong! They built a nest in the topiary tree RIGHT NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR!

We have a lot of trees around here. I wonder why they chose that one?

Here's what I found when I peeked at the nest on Tuesday.

How sweet is that?

And on Wednesday, they looked pretty much the same

But today, they have their eyes open a little bit

Momma bird, or I guess this could be daddy bird isn't too happy that I keep going out to look at their babies.
What do you think she would say?

On a totally unrelated note, please pray for a friend of mine who's in the last stages of lung cancer. After a wonderful trip last week to Disneyland with all her grandkids, she arrived home in tremendous pain. A visit to the doctor Monday and an MRI revealed what they feared the most...the cancer has spread to her liver, lymph nodes and stomach. They are now saying 2-3 weeks with a chance of 2-3 months but very little quality of life remaining. Her name is Vicki. Her blog is www.vickidees.blogspot.com
