Suzi and I have a new hobbie... We feel like when we were first starting out, and needed to find cheap furniture... See, when we took off last year, we sold, gave away, and took the majority of our "stuff" to the dump... so now we have a fresh slate. We have been going around and "test driving furniture" and hitting the 2nd hand stores to find goodies. We decided this weekend we needed a tv stand since the dogs seem to think it is in front of the TV where they should stand... We had a budget of less than $5. But we were picky also. Imagine our surprise when at one store Suzi said, "what is that under that other table?" We unburied our treasure, and since it was Father's day it was 1/2 price!


Turned out we were around the corner from our nesting Great Blue Heron friends, so we stopped by to check in on them. Most of the nests were empty now. Including the one we had the best view of. We did have fun watching these guys balancing up and down the branch. They would spread their wings and walk out on the branch in such a way that it reminded me of a little kid spreading thier arms out and attempting to balance on a curb.


I turned around and saw this young Great Blue Heron walking around. Looked like he was hunting. Reminded me of watching the birds back in Florida!
