Seeral weeks ago I mentioned to someone that a wind came up and blew the baby swallows right out the nest. A few days later the "mom" I think it was the same one was back again. Yes, more eggs, more sitting, and here are five new little eggs. Now this nest is a work of art, it is on a lip of a ledge about one inch wide and she worked for days building this nest. Too me she could have found a better and safer place to build this nest; but every year for the last three years a swallow comes and constructs this work of art. Hope you enjoy our pictures. The Mama Barn SwallowThe Mama Barn Swallow This nest is a work of art! There are six subspecies of Barn Swallow, which breed across the Northern Hemisphere.

We are in the process of replacing the old screens with SOLAR SCREEN (Charcoal Color) Our house has major problems staying cool in the summer. The air conditioner would run all day and would be hard pressed to cool the back of our house. The back of the house iswhere the afternoon sun comes in, so it just baked my office and the kitchen. We are using Sun Guard 90 Ultra Sun Block. We are using a Charcoal color, which I was not sure would work, but after re-screening a couple screens it works great. Just sorry we didn't do it before. I also purchased the black splne to match the screen. It was time to do it anyway since my son's little pooch walked right through the screen on the sliding door last weekend. (I wasn't very happy with his pooch and told him not to come back until he could t...
