I really like spring. I especially like the birds that we have nesting around here. Here are three pictures of nests that we have; the hole above the metal hanger thing is for a family of black capped Chickadees( who yell at you from the nearest tree when you are watering the flower garden underneath the hole); the hole above the garage door is for a family of Tree Swallows, which are very pretty, and swoop in and around you when you are by the garage; and the third family (which is VERY loud) is a family of Brown Creepers that live in a fir tree right by our sidewalk in front of our house. I think it is very fun watching those "parent" birds. They are hard workers and very protective of their young. Just like us?!
The other thing I like about spring is watching Stu and our boys work together on projects outside. (the winter is too cold and wet to do much!)
I also have a picture of Jared, Stu and Jared's boyhood friend and neighbor, Jon Hutto clearing brush from their new project......drum roll please......another garage. I have a picture of that, too.
Stu has been very busy cutting wood, (although all of our chainsaws and wood splitter have had to have some work done on them..age, etc) and especially bike riding with: scouts, sons, grandsons , elders, and friends. He has been feeling Strong and Good!
There you go! I am hoping to feel that way too, in a couple of weeks. I go in for surgery on Monday for my lung issue- wish me luck!!
Enjoy your spring!
