It’s just like sending your kids off to college.
One day you think they’ll never be ready to leave. (Yesterday, Mother’s Day)
Should I stay or should I go? (This morning)
I was at the window this morning when Mama Bird came to visit. I stopped the video so I could adjust the exposure, and Junior took off! I went out and checked; the nest is empty, so both survivors are off to new adventures. So relieved after last week’s drama.

My kids came over yesterday and helped me clean out the garage. It’s a Mother’s Day tradition that they come help with gardening or firewood splitting or whatever, and then we cook. The garage was pretty grungy. Now it’s much better.
We did some gin tasting, and had lemon orzo pasta salad and Vietnamese chicken for dinner.
A fun day of work and play.
And they gave me this beautiful Emma bag from Grace’s Cases. It’s designed to stand up by itself. It’s tall enough for a folder of class handouts, roomy enough for class samples, and well organized with several pockets inside. This will be perfect for when I don’t need my entire rolling suitcase of samples.
How was your weekend?

So glad you saw your “kids” (the feathered ones) launched successfully. What a privilege to be able to watch their progress! Thanks, too, for sharing. Great story.
Gorgeous bag, you lucky thing!! Thanks for sharing the bird updates–that’s lovely. So, which gin was the best? 😉
So cool to have a front row view of the babies!
