Saturday Mumblings.

Up and had coffee with my bride at 0630AM.

Wanted to tell you all about a miracle. When we were hitching up at home before we left for Florida, I noticed we might have a bird nest in the fiver hitch, Donna had said she saw an adult bird, fly out of there while I was hitching up.

When we arrived yesterday at Paul & Helens after 980 miles of travel and 2 days .As I was unhitching Paul said you have some travelers with you, Three baby birds had jumped from the trailer into the pickup as I unlocked the hitch. Paul got a bucket and put them in it and Helen has been hand feeding them. She said they are really in good shape and should make it to adulthood.

  7. Lucky Birds! I am thinking one might be making a nest right above our awning. I've seen birds flying up there all day. I'll have to have Len check it out tomorrow. I don't want to be taking any eggs with us when we leave here Wednesday.
