Birds

These cute little guys live outside of our back porch. I got this picture a couple of days ago; I love all of the pretty details on his back and feathers.

And this is a nesting mama California Quail. She was so sweet!



It has been a really pretty weekend. I have done a lot of studying for my micro class, but it was balanced by the pretty weather and the relaxing evenings. We watched The Philadelphia Story last night. It's an amazing classic movie with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. We've watched a lot of classics lately and I have loved almost all of them. My new favorite movie is definitely Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor were just incredible. And the dialogue; "mendacity!"

I'm trying to put together a summer reading list for the time I'll have off from school in July/August. I think I've read all of John Irving's books at this point, so I'm going to have to find a new author to read (everything they ever wrote, that is. ha ha). I almost always end  up with a new Hemingway over the summer, but maybe I'll find something more modern this year. Hmm...
