I am trapped in the house and garden a lot due to ill health and it's the little things that keep me going.
Today I saw a fledgling sparrow begging it's parent for food which the poor adult was supplying. Then the adult flew off so the fledgling started to feed itself but as soon as the adult returned it started begging again.
It reminded me of my girls when they were teenagers. It was amazing what they could do for themselves when I wasn't around

Meeting my daughter's new lemon and white basset hound - Gertie! Then she pooed on the kitchen floor which confused our dog because he thought that was his job.
