Birds and Books

This Spring we've watched several nests near our house, and one of them was in a bush low enough that we could watch the progress. We piled books in our basket (because you are NEVER too old for picture books) and enjoyed observing and learning until the baby birds grew up and flew away.

This season of life feels like our baby birds are all grown and flown. I'm so thankful for our kids and for the choices they are making as young adults.
