Well, this morning on the way to church, we stopped in at Mike's parents to drop off a "Father's Day" gift. We were just about at their house when Mike stopped and backed up. He said he hit a yellow finch. There were two birds on the road and the one flew away and the other stayed there. (Kinda like in the Bible when it says, "The one shall be taken and the other left....".) He got out of the van and picked it up. It looked completely fine but still didn't try to fly away when Mike picked it up. We put it on a tissue and Hadassah held it till we got to Daudy Lapp's. Mike placed it in the barn and hoped that when we stop after church to check on it, it would be OK. So, we headed off to church.
Sunday School was over and all the men were treated with homemade donuts, brewed tea or meadow tea! Thanks to Uncle Alvin again!
We stopped at Dad Lapp's and the bird was still in the barn but it flew a little. The kids wanted to bring it home and nurture it (not quit sure how to do that to a tiny bird?). Hadassah thought we should name it Tweety. So for now it's in Hadassah's room and if anyone knows anything about birds, we are open for suggestions. I am hoping that this bird will be able to fly and be free again by tonight! Matthew said, "It's one of God's wild creatures!"
