Baltimore oriole

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

The other day I saw a very colorful bird taking a bath in the haloumi pot. It was a Baltimore Oriole. Have a look at how it goes right into the water.

When you were one, Sibyl

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

Have a look at some video that I took when you, Sibyl, were Henry's age. It was just a month before your first birthday!

It will be such fun to be at the beach house with you.

Birds take a bath

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

Today the birds were having a bath in the haloumi pot. It was very hot outside, so they needed to cool off. Have a look!

Birds!

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

In Connecticut, Uncle Norman and I saw chickens, and then Canada geese with their goslings. In my garden, we have blue jays. I've made you a video of all three kinds of birds. Have a look.

In a few weeks, it will be time for you to come to the beach house. It is already very hot here. We'll go swimming!

Uncle Norman Jumps in the Lake

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

Uncle Norman and I went out in the kayak on a lake near his place in Connecticut. We saw a rope hanging over the water. Uncle Norman wanted to hang on to the rope and jump into the water from the side of the lake. Have a look!

Uncle Norman Fixes the Wall

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

Uncle Norman was here, and he fixed the cracks in Grandpa Charlie's wall and ceiling. Grandpa Charlie had been looking at cracks in his office for a long time, so we decided to fix the cracks and then paint his office room. Have a look!

Grandpa Charlie will be coming with me in June to see you. We will go to Russian River again. It will be great fun.
