Birds gotta eat too.
Earlier on this warm and sunny morning, the kids and I were sitting on the back porch watching the birds. I asked Owen if he knew what birdies ate. He said something about the mulberry tree, which has berries on it that the birds do eat. Then I told him that birds eat worms, to which he replied, "no no, birdies no eat worms." It was time for a little lesson. So, we watched some birds pecking at the ground, and I explained that the birds were looking for worms.
About 30 minutes later, I was picking up some lumber and building materials that have been sitting on our driveway forever. Under a board, there was a family of worms, so I called Owen over to see them. He was very excited, and immediately, in his intense voice, he looked around the yard and yelled, "Birds! Birds! Come!"
Wasn't that thoughtful?

Oh, I've been missing y'all so badly! With all the stress & stuff I just keep thinking it'd be great to hang out with y'all or the Knutsons, play games, whatnot. Strangely enough some of "Owen's cars" are driving around here in Boise. When Gid points one out it makes me so sad.
