so I have to share some of our outdoor friends with you...We have all become bird watchers.  Rainy days seem to busy in our yard.  This morning we looked out the window and were amazed at all the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits.  (they drive Nesta crazy!)  It is really a fun activity we share with Lu and we are learning a lot too. Violet loves watching as well.  It makes rainy days a little easier.  Lu is always encouraging the birds "to take a bath and get something to eat!"
