Mockingbirds

We had a Momma Mockingbird build her nest in our front yard tree, she laid 3 eggs and we got to see them grow up. It was neat to go out and peek into the nest each day and see how much they had grown. The kids loved going out to see them too. This week we've gone to having 3 birdies in the tree, down to 2, and then yesterday down to 1. This morning, we went to see them and discovered that they have all left. :-( Bittersweet. I'll miss seeing them everyday in our tree and seeing them grow. But, it was fun for the time that we had them here to see them and get to share little peeks at them.

The beautiful full rainbow...

We saw this tonight. God has been speaking to me so much lately with rainbows...of course that's a whole other post in itself...but I just wanted to share. We got to see the full bow...how often does that happen? :-)
