Today is Wednesday, July 28, 2021 Sunny Breezy Slightly Smokey Hot Humid 93 degrees 5:14 p.m.

I am very busy watching the mommy bird and her baby. We can now see the baby’s head when she is feeding it. She is a very good mommy, never goes far from the nest, but sits in the dogwood tree and watches when she isn’t either gathering food or in the nest. I do believe daddy is also close and watching what goes on as I have seen him check on the nest and also chase other small birds away. I know that when this baby gets ready to leave the nest we are going to miss it and its mommy and daddy. I don’t think they keep the nest but will find that out when the time comes.

Milo is also interested in the bird family. He spends a lot of time watching the nest and chatters when mommy bird flies in. He would like a better view, has jumped up on the bookcase to see if that would get him closer. I do believe he thinks that he would be a good friend to that family. But he also is interested in the lizards that live out in the flower bed. They are sleek, bluish gray, and entertain him often. He has managed to get tow of them as they got in the house. We, being the unappreciative humans that we are, found out where they were getting in at and fixed that entrance. He also has a hummingbird friend who comes several times a day and hovers at the glass screen door. He seems to be “visiting” with Milo and stays around for five minutes or so, each visit. He will hit the door if Milo isn’t there. Ah, the interesting life of a cat!

Enjoy the rest of your day. Make it a happy, cheerful,, productive and blessed day.
