Mim's birthday party and weekend

I didn't take pictures this year? But we did have a wonderful birthday party for Mim at home in the garage in
the pouring rain(at times). Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial weekend. While doing yard work and preparing for the party, we discovered a fox snake, so I caught it and had the girls touch it, plus Mim found an adult blue spotted salamander and we are co-rearing rearing two nestling house finch. We had them this weekend, but now my friends have them for the week (they need to be fed hourly during the daylight hours).  We will get them back next weekend. Did you know that a day in life of a songbird is the same as the growth and development of a human child within a year.Isn't that amazing??? Their nest was destroyed and a fellow teacher brought them to school last Friday and we have been taking care of them since.
