Our hawklets are flying the coop. We watched them all day yesterday as they ventured out onto the tree branches. They are gorgeous and fully feathered. The parents have left and now it is up to them to fly. Last year one stayed up in the tree for a few days with no food or parents helping until finally he got brave enough. This year they both seem to be eager to leave.

We got our cedar back from the little sawmill. I'm so excited. now it is drying in the rafters of our big shop. Then hubby will make me a new bed and chest of drawers. Can't wait.

On Monday, one of my Daughter-in-Loves brought Miss Molly out for a visit after school. Molly brought one of those old fashioned magnetic metal shavings hair shaker thing. We had so much fun walking around the place and playing.
