Making Friends on a Friday Night

We're exciting around here.  I found myself baking banana bread at nine tonight.  Mister Man and The Redhead watched Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, and oh yeah, we made a new friend this evening.





This is Chuck.  Not the car.  The bird that's blending in with the concrete.




And yes, we know fully just how ugly our driveway is.




But Chuck is really cute.




He is a chukar partridge, discovered all thanks to Mister Man's father.  It helps having a birder in the family.





For a while, we thought this little guy might belong to someone.  So we even considered bringing him inside.




We didn't want anything happening to him.








He was quite friendly.




And he enjoyed hanging out.








He felt welcomed at our house.














Alexandra wanted to hang out with Chuck as well.




And these two couldn't stop watching him.





You can't quite see it, but he was enjoying one of my glass dishes.  He both drank out of it and bathed in it.





After some research, we discovered he liked eating clover.  And peanuts.





The Redhead thought we should keep him.  But we declined.





Chuck eventually left out house to see if the grasses were indeed greener on the other side.  But we sure loved the visit.
