A surprise in the flowers

As I was watering the hanging flowers on my back deck last week I got a big surprise!  A bird had made a nest in the hanging geranium and the babies were chirping for their mother.  I'm sure glad they were chirping because I may have watered them without knowing!  Mady took the pictures for me.  Soon they will be flying away, but for now we get to check on them often and enjoy them.

Tonight while I was typing this the kids were checking on them and said they have their adult feathers now.  One tried to fly out of the nest and the cat nearly got it, but we saved it and it is safe back in its nest.  That was a close one.  Whew!
