backyard discoveries

A few days ago, I came out to our backyard to play soccer with Kit and the kiddos and saw them all huddled around a small object: 
 It had a broken wing and was having a hard time getting around:
We ended up watching this little guy for almost an hour before we relocated him to a leafy part of our yard, out of the way of the sprinklers.
There are so many things that we love about our new house, but one of the things that I have discovered that I love the most is how functional the outdoor space is, with it's covered patio and large trees for shade throughout the day.  We are outside so much more here and have been loving it!
Can you tell it's been a little hot in our neck of the woods?
Sweaty babies and rosy cheeks say it all...♥
