Happy Parade

This is the front of my latest sweatshirt. Laugh on the horizon. Looks like smiley faces that have been paint balled. This little critter was on the dining table one morning this week. How it got here is anyone's guess. It got put outside. but isn't it cute?! Another bird in our yard, but I forgot what it is called. :-( I need to get a good English-language bird book about Japan birds. These are a pair of gray herons that live in our little valley. I've never seen two together in the same place. Awesome. This is the latest science experiment by Sara. It has to do with cold and hot pressure inside a bottle, which inflated the balloon.
