Just say "NO" to Blumpy

I got a great surprise this morning when I found that a Painted Conure baby had hatched....while my Parrotlet, Gloria, was sitting on the egg. I had given three of Treasure's eggs to Gloria to incubate and hopefully raise since Treasure and Berry had destroyed most of their eggs this year and killed all of their babies last year.
Somehow I didn't really think little tiny Gloria would be able to keep those bigger eggs warm enough. I also thought she may kill the babies if they did hatch.
Fortunately it looks pretty good so far.
This is a photo of Gloria while she is NOT being a mommy.

Today I rescued a friend from a day of lonely boredom. She was feeling "blumpy" (her word) so I thought I would lend a hand.
I picked her up in my new car (Ruby Caroline) and took her on a surprise drive to the Stephen Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. She had never been there even though she has lived in San Diego her whole life. It was just the ticket.

Then we drove to Pacific Beach and ate Curry for dinner. We made it extra special by ordering frosty mango drinks with our meal.

Lastly we watched a video together. A day well spent.

Nobody should be left alone to feel Blumpy.

I am grateful for time with my friend.
I am grateful we had good adventures.
I am grateful for my first live bird baby of the year.
I am grateful Daffy was cuddly tonight.
I am grateful that tomorrow I can pick up my old car and begin the sale process.
I am grateful the weather was perfect today.
I am grateful I figured out how my windshield washers work on the new car...or did I?
I am grateful for the love of God.
