*~*~*~*~*
Also, don't forget that today isn't just another day off of work, it's a day of remembrance and a day to thank those serving our nation.
Here's a formal definition of the day:
Memorial Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (in 2008 on May 26). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, it was expanded after World War I to include casualties of any war or military action.
So thank you to those who are serving, those served, those who will serve, and those lives that have been taken due to war. I am grateful for your service and sacrifice!
Also, to any of my fellow bloggers who serve or have husbands or other loved ones serving, THANK you for allowing them to serve and for being SO amazing and STRONG while they are away. YOU TOO are heroes!

Awwww, sweet little birdies. We lost the babies of Harry and Sally at our house. We don't know what got to them. :(
I love seeing baby birds. When we lived in Charleston we had a bird make a nest in my hanging baskets. We looked after the nest and was careful when we watered. When the eggs hatched we didn't water that plant until the babies were bigger - we didn't want to hurt them.
Love that shot...and your comments on Memorial Day. I missed the boat in posting about it yesterday. My dad served in Vietnam.
