Things are heating up around here

I know that I should be real grateful, considering my blog is a gratitude blog, but . . . . Okay, Let me try again . . . I am SO grateful that it's been such a wonderful, relatively cool spring but I wanted it to last just a while longer! I'm not really sure what the official temp was today but it was soooooo close to 100 degrees. I just don't know if I'm ready for this! We truly have been blessed with an unusually cool spring and it's been a real blessing. I have been able to enjoy some fun outside time with Logan. Every afternoon we go on our trek to the mailbox and then later we go and sit in the driveway and play and wait for Lindsay to get home from work. I love seeing the look on Logan's face when she pulls up. He's so happy to see her!

The other day as we were sitting out there we were looking at some activity going on with our Saguaro cactus. We all it

"The Birdie Condo".

Here's why:


This is the cactus in our front yard

Notice all the holes in it? Those are where the birds live.

This is a momma bird flying into her condo to feed her babies.

This is that little family's condo.

This is their neighbor - Joe.

j/k

I don't really know his name. There's another hole on the other side where a woodpecker lives. I think he's stalking the bird family waiting to get the babies. What kind of a world do we live in?!? Interestingly enough, he pecks on the light pole - not the trees. Dumb bird!

I've never considered myself a "bird watcher". That's for old people in my opinion and I'm certainly not in that category!!! Anyway, this has been a fun and interesting and spring. I will miss being able to sit outside and watch birds and play with Logan and see my daughter come home to her little boy. Fun times, fun times!!!
