Day 5 in the life of the baby birds living literally just outside one of our windows. Mommy is feeding this one. The babies look more like birds after just a few short days.

A close up of the centerpiece for my book club meeting today. Can you guess the book? . . . The Seamstress by Frances des Pontes Peebles.
