More babies, though these are neither livestock, nor planned - but, I *have* appointed myself guardian, ensuring that these "deck babies" have sufficient water, and are protected as much as possible, from predators, in their little homes on my deck. We will start with the baby birds - either tufted titmouse or wrens, not sure, because I've not seen the parents move slowly enough for ID.

Congratulations! She's breathtakingly beautiful (cute baby too!)

Seriously though, congratulations to everyone, that is probably the best "mom meets baby" pic I've ever seen.

Eastern bluebirds build their nest and have two batches of babies each season!
Growing a big watermelon is kinda like growing a baby!
