Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Brent is preparing to put on a fireworks show this weekend - probably Saturday night.   We didn't plan anything special for today.   However, I didn't want to do nothing so made a red-white-blue pie out of jello and Cool-whip.  Russell and Donna came over in the afternoon and we roasted wieners over Ragnarok.   Later  I sat out on the windy side of the deck to do a crossword puzzle and watch night fall. After the sun set the air started cooling and I could see the fog forming in the protected coves of the forest.  A lone bird called from somewhere in the meadow, he'd stop, listen to his echo, and then call again.  I heard the staccato yips of coyotes as they grouped together on the other side of the woods.  Indy heard them too and would raise her head to give a soft 'woof.'  Eventually, w/o the sun's heat roiling the air the winds died down.  Time to go inside before the mosquitoes realized it too.
