What’s Up? – Happy Pool Party for Tyler!

Happy Pool Party for Tyler!

The past week has been a busy one! My son Tyler ended School year with very good marks and commendations from the teacher. Next, he will be learning 4th Grade.

Our weather is in Summer mode. Last Saturday we had a Pool Party for Tyler’s 9th birthday. The pool was crowded atone point. All children were enjoying the refreshing water of the pool. The temperature was at 95º F most of the afternoon. The pool party was a total success!

Tyler ready for the Pool Party

We are having sunny and bright days. Many birds are showing up to get their meals and I’m making sure that they get water to drink and take refreshing baths.

Update:

The orphan mockingbirds are well and getting stronger, they began to feed themselves for their meals. Little by little they are showing signs of not being shy or afraid of other birds and they are defending themselves. When the thrasher comes with them, they let the thrasher to mouth-feed them.

I see many Carolina Chickadees, at one time my wife counted 15 together! European Starlings are still coming and going, creating havoc at the feeders!. Oy!
