Bluebirds are Nesting



 My Bluebirds have been very active lately,checking out their house, before they started working on my lot. Then with so much activity around, I was scared they would not use the house they had been checking out. But to my amazement they started building their nest.Now I can set on my front porch and watch them going in and out. I had checked for eggs on Friday, not a one. Then Saturday I noticed the female sitting half way out of the box. I had never seen one do that before. The same thing happened again on Sunday morning. Well, I could not wait, so I checked and sure enough there were 3 eggs there. Happy happy days. I will be able to watch as they hatch, mom and dad feeding them and see the fledging leave the nest. This will be a first for me. here are a few pics of mom, dad and soon to be babies.  Not sure why the pics post at the top.

My Adventures in finding Peace and Quiet

For about 3 and a half years now, I have lived with my son and 2 grandsons. My son is disable and needed my help. Well he has a 3 bedroom mobile home. The boys are now teenagers and I am going crazy. LOL There seems to be something going on daily, the boys bicker all the time. I think they need their own space and I know I do. So I made a decision to put a mobile home on my sons land. He has 7 acres. WELL THIS IS WHERE THE ADVENTURE STARTS. To put it there I had to apply for a hardship case( it means he needs someone to be near enough to help him he is going to have to have another surgery soon) I went to the city, because we are in their planning zone. I had to have papers from his doctor, what size home I wanted to put in, then wait 2 months for a hearing. I was approved thank God. I then had to clear the area I am using, get the county not the city to approve my putting in a septic system. They said I could use his existing well. Then back to the city to get the permits to move, setup,put in electrical box, septic system and AC.  I have completed all but the final inspection. Oh, I also have to get a power line ran. They came out this morning to do that, found out it was to wet with all the rain we have gotten over the last few days. Now I have to wait until the first of the week. Well, I know the Good Lord has not brought me this far, without taking me the rest. I would like to share some of the beginning pics of this adventure.


I will continue my saga as thing progess
