Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

First, I’d like to thank all of you that reached out to me when Blob (my rabbit) died. I was really taken aback by your kindness, and it’s such an overwhelming, lovely feeling to experience that sense of community from people I’ve never even met.

This post is going to be a little more cheerful, because we are in the midst of a bird invasion! It started out with a two little nests, one inhabited by swallows, and one by phoebes. Now the swallows have called for reinforcements, and we have over forty swallows nesting all around the property. It’s almost a little Alfred Hitchcock out there, and I’m just glad that I don’t have any bird phobias. They get a little upset when we go outside, and will fly around within a few feet of you…I’ve even had one bump into my head.

One of many nests.

To add…
