The other night while taking the pups out, Brent noticed a baby bird had fallen from it's nest right in the front yard. He wasn't quite ready to fly and be out of the nest either. Well, there were three cats stalking around just waiting to get their paws on the little guy. I had a vintage bird cage hanging in the studio so I added a few paper towels and some straw and we placed him inside for protection.
The next day Brent hung the cage on the porch next to the hanging ferns and we noticed that the mother bird was feeding her little baby through the cage!!!!! So he moved the cage out to the cluster of trees in our yard where the mom was living so her job would be much easier. The little bird is growing very quickly and we should be able to release him any day now....he's working out his wings and getting stronger every day!

Can you see the mom in the tree beside the cage? She's so diligent and nuturing ~
Our sweet graduate last night ~ we're so very proud of him!! The weather was perfect, a breeze blowing all the time and quite mild. The ceremony went wonderful and Chase is now a graduate!!
We used the wheelchair, for hopefully the last time, to take Noah to the graduation ceremony ~
Even little Clara attended and was a perfect angel the entire time!
Wishing you a wonderful, relaxing weekend sweet friends!

Love the pictures of your sons and sweet Clara! The little bird story is priceless. I love treating little creatures with kindness. ~Mandy
Well done on the baby bird! I have done that very same thing myself, and it worked wonderfully. Congratulations on your graduating son.... I too, have a son graduating next week. What a bittersweet time, but knowing they are starting their next chapter is very rewarding indeed.
A mother's love for her children transcends fear of her own well-being. That Robin momma has a beautiful heart.
Congratulations to your son on graduating!
The pictures of the baby bird are just precious, what a neat gift to be a part of!

Love the grad pictures...I will have my turn next year.

Congratulations on your son's graduation. And how precious, your bird rescue mission! Have a wonderful weekend, Dawn.
What a sweet family you have! Including the new little feathered member! Congratulations to Chase (plus you & Daddy for getting another one ready to spread his wings). So glad Noah is doing better. And that little Clara is a bright eyed angel.
I told my hubby about your "rescue" and he said "sounds just like Dawn" I always talk about you and I think he has picked up on your gentle spirit. What a precious miracle that the momma still cared for her baby. Sweet story. Keep us posted.
As usual, my friend, I don't visit for a few days, come back and you have all sorts of heart-warming pictures and stories. How sweet your bird story is! And congratulations to the graduate and to your article in the magazine! Well-deserved. It's on my to-buy list, of course!
Fly, little bird! :-)

Oh Dawn! How sweet that the mama was still caring for her baby in the cage! I love that!
Dawn what a wonderful person you are, so kind. I loved hearing about the Mama bird, coming to feed the baby bird, darling.
Your son is so handsome, how proud you must be. They grow too fast and you wonder where has the time gone. I wish your son, the very best wishes.
Clara is just a little doll, so beautiful.
Such treasured memories, made.
Hugs, Laura.
Congrads you are in the new Art quilter magazine !!!!!!!! Wow !!! Fabulous, couldn't happen to a sweet or more talented lady.
Oh that is so sweet that you saved the baby bird. I cannot believe the mom feeds it through the cage, but that is wonderful!!!
BTW, your son is quite handsome!!!

The birdie is so sweet.
Congratulations to the graduate - it looks like Noah was quite proud. And sweet Clara is just precious.
