New house guests

When we got home from our vacation, John was outside watering, mowing the lawn, knocking down week old cobwebs. I was in the house putting away our stuff. John started calling me to come out front, quietly. we have a new house guest. He pointed up under the eve of the front porch, and there is a nest. it looks like a swollws nest, the kind that are under bridges. We let it stay there, some people will knock them down claiming they will damage the building or they dont like the bird poop all over the walkway. We want to see the babies. Yesterday morning i was looking at the nest, and one of the birds was sitting on the edge. then, all of a sudden, the mate came and landed in the nest, and that one took off. I guess there is always only one in there at a time. the one that just flew in, settled down and it was hard to see her then. this moring i was watcing the nest, and decided to get my camera. I got a few pics through the screen and i will put them up here. I want to try and get a few more.

yesterday when i was at my sisters and we were walking to the pool, i saw some asperigus ferns planted  and it reminded me that John had cut the large fern all the way to the ground in my back yard. I was going to say something to my sister, but i really didnt want to give her a reason to badmouth john. I recalled that I  had walked out in the back yard to feed the fish, or check the water level or something and noticed john had not only cut the fern down, but two rose bushes, and a couple plants along the fence. he sometimes does this just to get things under control, but never the roses. he did leave one right in front of the window which we planted there to discourage burgelers from crawling into the house.

Ok, so yesterday afternoon i went out there to sit and chat with him as it was finally cooling off. I looked over to the naked spot where the fern was and it was still there. So was the rose bush. That is when it hit me. that must have been one of those really real dreams. WO! I told john about that, and he was wondering why he would have cut everything down. I am just glad i didnt say anything to my sister. I must have had that dream on thursday, cus i know i had been in the back yard since we have been home. and it is possible for me to miss something like this. how strange huh. i really thought he cut all this stuff down. I was happy to see the fern still there.

I think that may be it for this saturday morning. Im gonna go get ready for the day. maybe see if I can do something with some of those scraps I have in my sewing room. Hope you all have a great weekend.
