Some Much Needed Time to Slow Down

Baby A found a baby bird yesterday on our sidewalk.  I then noticed the nest way up above in my favorite tree.  Too high for me to get to.  I heard mama and daddy cardinal before I saw them.  I quickly put our cat, Phantom, in my car and went inside to grab our resident animal lover.

She and I sat outside for around 30 min. just watching it all.  Mama cautiously trying to get to Baby.  Daddy keeping an eye out on both of them.  Baby whining and gaping.

Alas, laundry needed folded and I couldn't justify sitting outside longer.  But, I was so glad for that time of quiet this week.

Closing your eyes apparently makes you more quiet as to not scare any birds.

 *We checked for Baby before turning in for the night (and letting Phantom out) and it was gone.  I'm hoping it hopped into hiding or maybe even flew away.
