Warm Weather!

Yay! It is finally starting to heat up this year! I thought I would go crazy from all the rain and snow. Sunshine just makes everything better. We got our central air installed just in time too! No more swamp cooler to not do its job! What a relief. I am getting so excited to do summer activites. The other day we were trimming branches from this massive tree in our front yard that is threatening to overtake our house. I had climbed up in it and there was this particular spot where a bunch of branches had blown off during the windy months and gathered together. We were glad to be getting rid of them, but before we got started, Jeremy noticed that they were sheltering a birds nest. As we were in the tree, mama bird cam flying over and sat right down in her nest and stayed there until we were done trimming the branches from the other areas of the tree. She was protecting her baby eggs. Of course we wouldn't touch any of the branches near her nest, so it looks like those dead branches will remain there for a while. The other morning, I woke up really early and was unable to get back to sleep. All I could hear were birds chirping. When it got lighter, I had Jeremy go climb in the tree and check if the baby birds had hatched and they had! I climbed up a ladder and took a picture of them with their mouths open wide cause they were hungry. I was able to take a picture of mama bird on her nest from earlier as well, so I will try and post both pictures, they are so sweet. There is also a daddy bird and we can see him and mama finding food all the time to give to their little ones. It is going to be fun to watch them grow!
