Another summer adventure was the appearance of Red Verbena, or so she was named.  The little bird must have fallen out of her nest and ended up on our lawn.  She was squaking away when the girls found her.  Luckily they found her before Tank found her.  My favorite part of this story is that Kyleigh was so excited she insisted on running down to the lot to tell Rusty to come look.  It was right in the middle of the day and I tried to soften the blow of him not coming with a reminder that he was working.  She insisted and a few minutes later Rusty ran in the door with her.  Honestly, he is such a great Dad.  He helped her get a shovel and he and the girls dug for worms before he left to go back to work.  It was tricky at first but Kyleigh figured out how to get Red Verbena to eat the worms and Katelyn kept supplying them.  The first day she ate 11 worms.  They set her up in a comfortable box with some grass and a bowl of water.  Her health and appetite quickly deteriorated, though, and she died on the third day.  So sad but it was fun while it lasted.
