The rescue of little girl
Yesterday started out a little bit rough for this little girl. She hit the window of our house flying about a million miles an hour, trying to escape another young lady who was offended by her presence.
After she smacked the window, she dove for the ground; with her aggressive girlfriend following, and the boyfriend trailing close behind. Little girl cowered against the fence as the young lady attempted to maul her to death. Jealousy will do that I guess. The boyfriend tried to intervene, but got a mouthful and a slap in the face. So he decided it was best to stay as far up in the trees as he possibly could.
After watching the brutal slaying from afar, I just couldn’t stay away any longer; I knew I had to intervene myself. Upon reaching the fence where the fight was going on, young lady squawked at me and took off, and poor little girl let me pick her up and carry her inside. She was completely calm and begged me to help her. I cleaned her wounds the best I could and finished with some healing ointment. She smiled at me as I readied a nice comfy bed for her and winked at me as I closed the door.
Later that evening, I went to check on her and she told me she was ready to go home. I carried her to the front door and we said our goodbyes. She promised to come visit me once and awhile and sing more of her sweet songs to me. I in turn, promised to have plenty of birdseed on hand for when she visits next. It turned out to be a great day after all.

Our Latest Adventure
Just wanted to share our most recent trip to the park with all of you. It was quite muddy that day, but at least there weren’t too many bugs lurking about. We had a blast despite ending up with mud caked to the bottom of our shoes. 🙂
This was the start of the path leading into the woods from the children’s play area. Every time I see a path like this, I feel inspired to write something about it. The woods were so tranquil and quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the faint rustle of the leaves in the wind and the birds merrily singing nearby.
Along the path, we spotted this tree off in the distance. I wanted to get a closer look, but it was so far off the path and with the ground being so muddy, this is as close as I could get without getting stuck forever! I wonder if an animal lives here. It sure seemed like a cozy little place to snuggle up and take a nap.
These plants to the left, covered almost the entire forest floor. Not sure of their name. They were about 3 ft. tall, with tiny white flowers at the tips, and because of their height, it made it impossible to veer off the path too far.
Here’s a better view of the flowers that were perched at the top of each plant. Like I said, I am not sure what these were, but they were a beautiful sight for sure!
The trees didn’t quite have all of their leaves yet, so you could really get a good view of the entire forest and all of it’s hidden secrets that laid scattered about. I enjoyed watching the butterflies fluttering by, and my girls were looking for curious things to collect. I think the only thing we really collected though, was about 2 inches of mud on the bottoms of our shoes!
This was the end of our journey through the woods and I decided to take a picture of the sun peering through the trees as we made our way back to the play area. It is always hard to leave such a peaceful place behind and I felt a bit sad when we had to leave. The good news is, that we can go back another day and have another adventure waiting for us once again! I am already excited just thinking about it!
