Crazy Lady Bird

For some reason a bird has chosen to build a nest on the light by our front door. There is a huge oak tree in the front yard but she chose the light. The new hip thing in the bird world must be nests in crazy places.

The funny thing is that she has been working on it for about a week now but it is not finished. There are a few reasons for this. First she must not know what she is doing because most of the nest material ends up on my mail box or the ground. The second reason is that I took the hose to the nest last night. Don't worry the destruction of her nest has not deterred her in the least. When I left the house this morning there was more nest material on the ground, the mailbox and the light.

The sad attempt at a nest.

The huge pile of nest material that falls.

Where the rest of the nest pieces end up.

Side Note:

You may be thinking, why has he cast the birds gender as female? Is he saying women can't build things? No that is not what I am saying. You see Google taught me that female birds make the nest.

Beautiful Spring Days

The past few days the weather here has been amazing. A couple days over 80 (almost too hot) and today a perfect day in the 60's. My ideal weather would be 60s and 70s year round. We enjoyed the nice weather by spending time outside. Up in Brockport we found an old tower. It was apparently built as a memorial but now it has seen better days and is falling apart.

Today we went walking through Highland Park with the dogs. They loved roaming around, checking everything out. The magnolia trees are blossoming and are beautiful. The yellow tree was just opening up and there were different shades of pink and white magnolias.

Down by some of some of the cherry trees that were in full bloom, we saw some people spelling out "love" for a picture.
