It seems like our swimming pool on the deck has become a new bird bath for the little birds in our backyard! When Linda got home, there were a few dozen tiny brown birds all taking a bath in the pool! Linda had turned it upside down since it was empty, so there was only a tiny puddle of water that collected on the bottom of it. She was laughing so hard watching them all flutter around in the water. Chip Cat was glued to the sliding glass door watching the clueless birds. When she opened the door to let us outside, they all flew away before any of them became dinner. Besides the birds, Linda saw our old friend when she got back from teaching today. Mrs. Chipmunk is back making her home in our front flower beds. Linda thought she moved since it's been over a month since she put in an appearance. Linda will have to put out some of the special chipmunk food (stale cereal) that she likes. I wonder if there are more babies like last year? That was pretty tragic for all involved when Linda found the nest the mower had run over.
