If I were a Bird

This is where I would live!! It actually is quite the hotspot here in NJ. You would not believe the loud and noisy fights that take place over this house.

My grandfather made this for us and my dad recently spruced it up with a much needed fresh coat of paint. I was actually afraid to do it myself b/c the bird tenants are maniacs and very protective of their home.

I've had the clematis for around 5 years but it has NEVER looked this great!! I think these birds are living large! xo, Brie

Mr. KB and I were using this power saw thingy last weekend to de-branch some of our lilacs that are really starting to get a touch out of control in the huge department. I pointed and he did the sawing - I've never been too good with the tools! So as I am pointing around the last bush, a bird flys out and nearly takes our heads off in the process.

A few minutes later we see this....

and then these!!!! She has four babies just like me :) The kids are calling her Mama Bridget (which my niece Molly calls me) I am as excited as the kids to see these adorable little baby birdies!!

that tall one must be the oldest - especially with that nose for news :)

Here is Mama Bridget getting dinner ready for the babies and at the same time giving me the old stink eye on our neighbor's "spite shed". This structure was built 5 feet from our property line and they live on a half acre. They are the type that turn out all the lights and put a "Go Away" sign on their door for Halloween. They're awesome!! I'm not bitter about it or anything but it is kind of ugly!!! I have noticed that Mama Bridget like to use the "facilities" on the roof of the spite shed and that makes THIS Mama Bridget kind of snicker ;) xo, Brie
