Something has happened that I never really expected to have happen once we were married. It seems we are going to be sharing our home with another couple. Fortunately, I don't think they are going to take up much space. That's right, Mr. and Mrs. House Finch are building a nest on our balcony!
It appears they've been continuing to munch on my pea plants, but that's okay... a bunch more sprouted and I have enough to share now.
I don't know if I ever posted a picture of it, but for Christmas I made this nifty light ball out of a string of lights and a bunch of clear plastic cups. It was out being decorative on our balcony, but I never took it down because I don't have a place to store it inside! Well, now the finches are making a nest in one of the cups! How cool is that? I am just tickled. We should put up a bird feeder!
mr and mrs house finch,
