Mr. and Mrs. B. Oriole went out for dinner tonight. They left the children home in the nest because they are old enough to stay alone for a short time.
Besides, the folks needed a break from all that cheeping, those wide – open mouths and the heavy feeding duties of late.
So the Orioles landed…side by side…on the edge of the grape jelly dish on my deck….ready for the dessert part of their dinner out.
Mr. Oriole dressed up in his deep black waistcoat with the orange accessories. He looked so handsome.
Mrs. Oriole wore her brownish drab suit with dull orangey-gold accessories…a blouse and a vest. Neither of them bothered to wear a hat..it is just too hot for hats.
They indulged in the sweet grape dessert and Mrs. Oriole left before her husband.
Her beak was full of a big blob of grape jelly. Like so many mothers, she wanted to bring the kids a sweet treat before they went to bed.
A good time was had by both Orioles and the kids loved the grape jelly treat even tho. they had to eat it in their pajamas.
