Plan to participate! We deserve a break today so pick your own “poison,” but below is my FAVORITE ice cream cone!!

Well, actually it’s the chocolate ice cream and maybe in a waffle cone but you get the idea. Even if you are dieting, treat yourself this one day you have a built-in excuse!

Happy Sunday!

I’ve had a healthy respect for birds for a long, long time. My parents had a Parakeet when I was born that lived until I was almost 16 so I guess that might explain a lot of it.

A week or so ago I noticed a Robin’s nest just over an outdoor speaker. By the time I noticed it, these guys were already thinking about leaving…

Were they safe in there? I think so!

I was amazed at how HEAVY this nest was. Not only is the nesting area itself almost perfectly round, if you look to the right-side of the nest, you can see the “wall” Mother Robin built to brace the nest over the speaker and against the brick wall behind it!

You can say what you want about birds, but I think they are amazing creatures. From this little Robin familys’ temporary home to geese that somehow manage to keep their goslings together in urban areas. Calling someone a “birdbrain” might give them more credit than they deserve!!

My Dad is gone. I wish he were here this Father’s Day and for the last 32 Father’s Day holidays he has missed.

If your Dad is still around, don’t miss the opportunity today offers…

If you can’t show respect for the flag, do the rest of us a huge favor and LEAVE!
