OooooPs....

Hahahaa....Oh my goodness...We have friends that live in San Antonio. Tom and Bev. They live in a Beautiful, newly built home out in the country. They have lots of wildlife running around on land and in the air. Deer, raccoons, turkey, fox...rabbits...and Barn Swallows. These are some some barn swallow Babies...LOL...This nest is up under an eve on the front porch. Tom has put a water bucket under the nest in hopes of catching some of the droppings but says when the wind blows, it's useless. They Are cute but...it seems their "parents" are just pigs!
Happy weekend to you! Don't forget the Brenda Photo Challenge photos are due on Saturday! This Challenge was a Hard one for me, but I tried!Hahaa....

What an adorable picture! Hahaha, we let a barn swallow pair nest one year on our bedroom porch. MISTAKE! Lordy, the mess was unreal and we liked to never clean it up. And from then on, every year, we battled with the birds and had to tear down their nests and messes. We were showing the house for 3 years and trying to keep them from nesting! Oh my. LOL, now I thought of how the new owners must be battling them - or else thinking how cute!

love the birds -- i have kitties on my porch -- poor things have to get a ride to death row-- i mean the shelter today . it makes me sad. but i can't leave them here unattended for 8 or 9 days . i just can't. if starvation or dehydration doesn't get em, a car will. i couldn't handle that. so off they go. (tear), but i've put it off as long as i could. i will let the big ones stay. they have survived since before we bought this house. i'm sure they will be ok. we will leave food and water- and hope raccoons and dogs don't get to it. the dogs won't be here- so i'm hoping they will find it in the back yard.

anyhow-- didn't mean to blog in your box-- was just gonna say -- why have you stopped reminding ME to post my pix ? you know i am a senile sloth. that's not good when it comes to tasks such as a photo challenge :))

anyhow-- my pix are up.
