- The sun was out and it was warm enough to work outside. I cleaned Em’s nest, although her house was immaculate. I wanted the wet spots outside of it to dry. She was NOT happy about it at all. Nope. She went to the other side of the patio to wait until things were back to normal. She in her bed again, so she’s okay.

- Quote: Lenny Bruce (unfortunately, the constitution doesn’t work that way)
- Granddaughter took this picture. The bird is so cool. We don’t actually know it’s name but I think we should call him Byron…
