Sudden Storm

We had a series of small storms yesterday. Our house weathered it well, but between the third and fourth wave, Shawn and I brought in from the shed Jethro’s crate to make him a cozy cave, since he hates storms with rolling thunder and crazy flashes of lightning. So it was already blowing again, leaves were whirling around and Shawn spotted the first baby bird of the ground. It was on our patio. So we hunted around, never found the blown down nest but we found four other hatchlings. We managed to scoop them up, they were alive, put them in an empty flowerpot, inside another drained container. We weren’t saving them from the winds and cold concrete to drown them in torrential rain. We managed to set them out hoping the parents would sit on them, but it hasn’t happened yet. 😒
