Beautiful here today too, almost 70. Today my DH cut a hole in the back of my birdhouse and made a cover for the hole. When I made it I thought it was going to be only ornamental. A bird thought differently last summer and nested in it and I didn't have a way to clean it out 'cuz I hadn't made a cleanout. I wanted it to get done right away as the birds are looking for houses and I hope one will nest there. The Tree Swallows are back and they are chasing off any other birds checking out the birdhouse they used last year. They are my favorite. Some bluebirds were checking the house out and though I love bluebirds I was glad when the Tree Swallows won the day.

This is the little wren coming out of the birdhouse last summer.

I got that cleaned out and started cleaning on flower beds that I didn't get done last fall. It's pretty slow going as I'm still pretty gimpy and have to work mostly sitting done, my foot still swells pretty bad if I'm on it long.
