Memorial Day...Part II

Today was the actual "Memorial Day" so

Mike and I made our way back to the

cemetery to meet up with the

"William's Extended" gang.

We arrived to a downpour....

After about 20 minutes, the rain let up long enough

for us to make our way our to the

grave sites. Lee and Terri had come

up with an idea (via Elijah) of bring

photos to the event to be kept by the

head stones in waterproof folders.

Glenn's surviving family.....minus Mark.

Before leaving for the cemetery, Mike called me to the

kitchen window and said, "Look at this!"

There was this little quail family....Mom, Dad

and whole gaggle of little chicklets following in tow.

At one point the Momma spread her wings and

all the babies scurried underneath and she wrapped

her wings around them all to warm them up.

They were down in our "dug-out" area of the back yard

and the little chicklets were too little to climb out.

Mike tried to go out and help them but just

terrified them all as the scattered.

We finally left them to their own devices and

when we got home, they were all gone...

so I guess they figured it out on their own.

Cutest thing EVER!!
