Enough rambling. I made a zucchini bread tonight, since my banana bread came out so yummy last week. Well, needless to say, I put wayyyy too much batter into the bread pan, because everything seeped up, and baked out and over the pan, making it a big smelly mess. The bread itself looks fine, but I've lost my appetite for it now, since it totally smells like I burned down the kitchen. I've been warned though under threat by the husband, that if I throw the bread away, ( like I usually do a day or two later) there will be big consequences to pay. Yikes.
Well.. I was going to do a process of my baby bird robins growing up. I am sad to say, that I will no longer be taking photos of the birds growing up. Last night at work, I went to check on my beloved birds, and I saw that the nest was completely halved open- from the bad storm. I peered inside, and there was only 1 of the 4 birds in the nest. My heart started pounding, and I started praying hard.. I dropped to my knees to start looking for the birds under the bush. I found one.. He was lying on his back breathing, and barely alive. I felt so horrible, and started tearing up. As gently as I could- with both parent's angrily chirping at me, I put the poor thing back in the nest. I found 2 of the 4 also, in the same condition.I started worrying about the 4th baby, but I did end finding him! He was under a rock trying to stay dry. He saw me and started chirping angrily at me. Seemed to me he was saying, "EY! Why'd ya take so long to find me?! I did call the Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation center, and they eventually returned my call, praise God. The woman ended up telling me to get a basket, and put the nest inside of the basket. The parents did want all the babies in the nest, and there is no way they are able to pick their babies up. Also, the rehab woman told me it was just fine to pick up the birds, the parents will NOT abandon their young. Birds have a very poor sense of smell anyways. Anyways, Savannah and I prayed for the birds last night, and went to check on them this morning, and sadly we had to bury the 2 that didn't look well the previous night. The other birds were hopping around out of the branches though.
I am currently trying to sweet talk the husband into getting a dog. Preferably a great dane. I love them! They are clumsy, big and loveable. It seems like they are super good with kids too, which is exactly what I want! John seems to be winning this battle though. Don't tell him I said that....He did say that once we get a house- which seems like it WILL be happening sooner than later, that he would get me a dog! Tehe!
I actually found this park through pacyber today, and it looked super interesting. It's called the Living Treasures Animal Park. Has anybody heard of it before? I guess it's somewhere down by New Castle.
Animal Park
I'm hoping we can get down there sometime soon. I know the kids would love it!
Okay, well that's it for now. Movie marathon time with hubby.
