Bye Bye Birdie

For the last couple of weeks, I've had these birds on the porch of one of my model homes. They have been building a nest on this ledge above the front window. The first time I saw them I told the superintendent so they could move it before there were eggs. It was making a huge mess on the porch. Well, they just keep coming back. Then one morning I found an egg that had fallen and broke on the porch. We cleaned it up and about a week later, another nest and another broken egg, we cleaned it up again. It's been another week or so and this is what I found yesterday morning:





I must be a little emotional lately. I was so sad for these birds. They just keep coming back and trying. Granted they don't seem to be learning that the place they have chosen isn't very safe. But what a disappointment it must be. To bad I can't sell them a house, then they would have a safer placer for the family. Ok, so I'm talking about a couple of birds. I haven't seen them back yet, so maybe they are learning.

As for the rest of the week, relatively uneventful. Highlights include picking up yard furniture in 60 mph winds at my parents house who are out of town, played a little Wii with Chris and friends, watching The Office, a clean garage (Chris did a FABULOUS job, he is the best), and the most important: finishing my book- Katherine by Anya Seton SOOO GOOD, I can't quit thinking about it. We have stake conference this weekend and look forward to hearing from the two 70 that are coming, it should be a nice weekend.
