Have you heard any increased tweets in your trees lately? Well, I am a proud host of at least one new baby birdy! He is a baby mockingbird. His mom is sitting on him most of the time because she still has some eggs left to hatch and I want to give her some privacy, so no pictures yet.They are living in our multi-family duplex bush in our backyard. On the first floor was a dove nest with two eggs. I got really excited and named them Humpty and Dumpty. Yet, after some research I learned they are not baby birdies, they are just eggs. I got so sad. Just about that time Mama Mockingbird started hanging out full time in her nest that she has been building with what I assume is her husband.
Yesterday Mama was not in the nest and I checked to see if there were eggs and there was a teeny baby bird!!!
Stay tuned for updates on my little family of Mockingbirds.

On a more personal note, I have been overwhelmed by the support I have gotten since my last post. It seems the things that I was most afraid to share matter so little to the people that love me.
I am constantly learning that my little world is so much bigger than I realize, my fear much smaller than my potential, and dark painful moments are always over shadowed by the good, the lovely, and the pure in life.
So thank you so much for your prayers and kind words. I am blessed.
