At the end of summer last year, Zach was at Lowes and felt the need to buy a birdhouse. I argued with him about it because I was not a bird watcher, for that is a sign of age. I use to think my Dad and Jim had lost their minds because the loved to watch birds. Well, Zach won and we are proud owners of a birdhouse. It is strategicly placed on the fence. So strategic, in fact, I dont even have to move when I take a seat at my designated place on the couch. Back in March, Zach and I started seeing multiple bluebirds flying around the backyard and perching on the fence. It wasn't long after that I discovered there was a nest of eggs! I was so thrilled. I watched these birds so much that I began to pick up on their behaviors. It is such a love story! :) Mommy bird tends to babies and when she pokes her head out the house, daddy bird goes off to hunt some worms. He sits and waits all day for this on the street sign! We are now on our second group of baby bluebirds. This time we had five eggs. I am not sure if they all hatched out or not. I know there are 3 for sure! They should be flying soon. Wouldn't it be great if it happens on Fathers Day?
