Fun day but lots of wind!

   The wind here yesterday was insane! We had to tie down everything that was light, zip up the trampoline cage to make sure nothing inside would fall out and hope that no tree limbs decided to fall.
   While outside we kept hearing a scratching noise..something was in our downspout from the gutter!! We'd tap it,it would stop. I finally tapped it hard and heard whatever it was fall to the bottom drain piece (that goes underground to the drainage ditch). We gave it a few to see if it would try to climb out towards the light but...no success. So Steve and my brother got the tools, took apart the downspout and tubing and found one very scared ....
  

    
  Bird!! How in the world the thing got into the downspout hole we have no clue. It was healthy, full of energy, dry bird (later found out it was an English Starling). We checked it over...beak fine, no cuts and wings were fine, let Kaya say goodbye and turned it loose. It's one lucky bird that we could get it out as our only other option would have been to force it out with the garden hose. Risking it drowning would have been better then letting it stay in the downspout and die of starvation! But thankfully the rescue mission worked and Kaya's two heroes saved the day lol
     We also decided to make homemade flat pizzas. I've always made two simply because we all like different things on them but this time my baby brother had a special request. He couldn't get pizza in Iraq (not traditional pizza anyway) and it was WAYYY expensive in Hawaii and he was dying for an anchovy and pepperoni pizza. BLAAAH I hate anchovies and I hate the smell but...I couldn't turn him down. So Kaya and I got to work making the dough. We have to make Steve's in a square baking dish because he prefers a deeper thicker crust (yes..I'm use to altering some meals lol) and less sauce. Kaya had a ball till time to open the anchovies. She immediately grabbed her nose and said "Uncle, this is cat food. It smells like...cat food. You SURE you want this". We had a good laugh but everyone bulked out at putting it on the pizza so I got that lovely chore lol All in all they turned out well and we had a good supper. 

    

One ham and mushroom extra cheese, one anchovy and pepperoni, and one deep dish pepperoni, little sauce :)  Kaya did awesome :)
