Two years ago, when Brian and his family were visiting the ranch, Papa built four birdhouses with Sarah and Emily. They took two home to Texas, and they hung two on the fence near our house. As I was going out for a hike yesterday morning, a bird flew out of one of the birdhouses, just as I was passing. I took a couple of steps toward the birdhouse and heard little tweets. We have a new family of birds in the birdhouse! Mama bird is working hard to keep them fed, as she makes trip after trip out of the birdhouse and back again with a mouthful of goodies.
