R.I.P

Emma wants a bird...BADLY. So badly, in fact, she created a bird trap. The trap never worked, but kept her in suspense for nearly a week. She couldn't go to sleep in case there was a bird in the trap! This week, Colby was riding horses with his cousin and they came back all excited! They had run up on a nest and there was a baby bird. So Emma went and got it and put it in the cage. Why, you ask, did we have a cage? Well, I bought it to put flowers in, but promised Emma if she caught a bird, that she could use it. So my flowers went to the floor.

She put the bird in the cage and talked to it, and fed it, and scraped the poor thing off the floor when the dogs dumped the entire cage.

24 hours later, when the bird was face down with all 2 legs splayed apart...she came to grips with the fact that he was indeed gone :(
So she buried him at the back door and made a cross out of wood and electrical tape....oh that girl of mine. She's moving on to the turtle now :)
