The chicks started leaving the nest around 10AM. The last one was a little reluctant but flew a foot away to a limb near the nest, then, finally onward to another Plum tree. I have about 50 photos. Here are 4 of them.
Life goes on in this wonderful retirement community. I am surrounded by my loving family and friends. Life is good!
a Dose of Dave (Barry)
Thanksgiving is not merely a time of eating until we are big fat bloated carbohydrate balloons lying motionless on the sofa watching the Detroit Lions while actual gravy oozes from our pores. Thanksgiving is also a time of giving thanks --as the Pilgrims did so many centuries ago --for the fact that the malls are open on Friday. Otherwise we'd have to spend another day cooped up with our loved ones, not to mention toxic levels of leftovers, and the number of domestic drumstick assaults would be even higher than it is.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea of eating turkeys, which are, let’s face it, living organisms, like dogs or celery. You may wonder: Is there a more humanitarian option that you can serve for Thanksgiving dinner? There certainly is: tofu, a semi-foodlike substance secreted by soybeans as a defense mechanism. Tofu can be used as a high-protein substitute, as well as a denture adhesive or tile grout. In its natural state, tofu is tasteless and odorless, but if you form it into a turkey-shaped lump, season it well, add gravy, and bake it for two hours in a shallow pan at 350 degrees, you can also use it for minor driveway repairs.

Opening up your blog put a smile on my face! How stinking cute! I want to see more photos! Perhaps you could email them to me????
Well, this is all very nice. But you you should know that you have tough competition here in Greenbrae, California. Settling outside the back of our lovely oak shaded home are a pair of flittering finches, probably let loose from someone's bird cage. We will advise on the appearance of any progeny.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a progeny...that's some kind of a lizard, right? I'd look it up in my dikshunary but I don't got one.
