Ugly Baby

Today we stayed around the house and did not much. The weather was lovely and just the right temperature in the shade. Yesterday when we were looking for a tea kettle we also stopped to look for a hat for Layden. This outfit and hat were on sale at Macy's for $6, and he looks so cute in it.
Looking for tea kettles is a frustrating. There are lots of cute ones but they are enamel and can't be used above medium heat. What's the point? If I am going to boil water I am going to use the highest heat setting.
Today I was watching a starling bring food to its babies who live in the roof and trying to get a good picture. I finally managed to get some pictures when something fell knocking flowers from the neighbors apple tree. A baby starling had fallen from the nest. Or, perhaps, it was pushed? It is so ugly it is cute. Against his upbringing Oli agreed to climb up on the roof to return him to the nest, probably to keep me from crying. Hopefully it will survive, at the least I can pretend he does.
