Siblings

So mama bird was around at 6am this morning to feed the little ones - then she seemed to disappear until about 6:30pm. They are still keeping each other company - this picture was taken this afternoon. Big Brother is the one in the back - you can't really tell from this picture - but he isn't as fuzzy as his little sibling. The little one took a few looks off the edge of the planter during the day - like he was ready to take the jump - but never did. I don't suspect they will be around much longer.
So the day didn't start all that great - and then went from bad to worse when I noticed the toilet running a little longer than it should have been - only to walk in and find water spilling out of the back tank! Dang! After the morning I had - it just made me cry. Called my best friend to ask for the number of a plumber and after describing the problem - she told me she could fix it. Yes, I probably could have fixed it myself - but never had to do home maintenance growing up - besides - that's why I surround myself with friends that can help! So Brandy came by and in the time it took me to find a wrench for her - it was done. Then we had dinner and wandered around the bookstore - a great end to a tough day. A nice distraction, Thanks, Brandy! That's it for now - didn't have the heart to call my mom today - will probably go and check in with her tomorrow - stay tuned!
