Flamingos in the Neighborhood

It began with one lone baby flamingo in our neighbor’s front yard.

For weeks – maybe a month it stood by its lonesome without any companionship.  The bright pink contrasted lovely with the green grass, but I felt sorry for the single flamingo.  After all, shouldn’t there be a flock of flamingos?

Then miracles of miracles, baby flamingo’s mother arrived.  I have to admit that it made my heart happy to know that little flamingo had a friend.

Be still my heart.  Then either Papa Flamingo or Aunty Flamingo appeared.  What a cute family!

Within two weeks the happy family had grown to five members.  I am sure that the word had spread in the flamingo world that there was a wonderful home for a flock of flamingos in this neighborhood.

Today I noticed that the flamingos have moved to nest in the flower bed.  Maybe they are being considerate of the mowing crew.  flamingo8

There are six darling flamingos now living next door.  I like them.  I love them.  They make me happy.

Blessings to you and yours,

No, I am not responsible for the arrival of the flamingos next door.  Cross my heart!
