If you know me at all, you are well aware of my fascination with all things nature.
The flash of the camera illuminates the dark inside of this nest, but when you approach it, it just looks dark an empty.
As you know, the whole wall of the kitchen came down. Once that was done, things moved kind of slowly and I wasn't in there that much, with the door into the kitchen being boarded up from the rest of the house.
During this time, Handy Man cut the big grass on the side and brought me a nest he found. By the time I noticed this nest, amidst boxes, wood, wires, buckets, tools, etc. I thought Handy Man must have put it there to show the gramerlings. Umm, no. Since, by the time we realized we had a squatter, if was full of eggs, no one had the heart to pitch it out.
In less time than it has taken, let me see if I can figure this out, about twenty people, to fix my kitchen, this littlest bit of a wren has built an entire house in the middle of this chaos, laid eggs, figured a new route in an out as one entrance after another has been finished, and now nearly raised this brood. I'm impressed.
This weekend the back porch panels were replaced around the new electrical box, and Handy Man finished the two places where the rooms connect.
I think this week the last solar skylight will be placed and the floor started.
I desperately need to get my room buttoned up. A job I hate.
At last, creeping charlie is not winning the garden race.
I signed up for a yoga class and plan to join a community choir.
Welcome summer.
