Happy 18th birthday to my son!  We are grilling some shrimp skewers and having chocolate pudding delight for his “cake”.

And, I’m happy to report that Zapper showed up for dinner on the patio last night.  So he really did come through ok.  I don’t know if he would’ve been ok if I had left him buried in that pile of hail or not.  I like to think I rescued him.  And one of the baby doves did survive, but it sure looked lonesome all by itself on the roof last night.  I haven’t seen it today, so maybe it is now happily flying around.

And Gayle, that yellow bellied bird you asked about…I believe it is a Western Kingbird.

I’m off to have birthday dinner with my boy young man.
