New Tenants

This has been an interesting weekend -- Our friends Jeremy and Shirley Martin are moving into a duplex at the end of our street :-) Our friends and nextdoor neighbors Ravi, Pria and Akash are moving to Texas on Monday-- which is bitter sweet because we'll miss them, but think they will like it there. And it looks like we might have some new friends moving into the bluebird box. They're not blue. But we welcome them just the same. Chickadees are not too common, though their name is so familiar. Sparrows pretty much out compete most birds, so we're happy to have this little couple make a neat nest of moss and fine grasses, rather than the half-hearted pile of weeds the sparrows keep throwing together in there.
