| taking a break...., citronella candles help with the mosquitoes.....a big, cold cocktail helps with nesting.... |
 |
| I'm the one that is nesting..... |
 |
| it is strangely quiet on the deck now...... |
The nesting boxes for swallows were full of chicks when we first moved into our new home on the Slocan River. We listened to the babies chirp and watched the parents swoop down and fly straight into the round holes of the houses to feed them. Last week, we watched the young birds fly from of their nests and awkwardly find their wings. Like groups of teenagers they flew together exuberantly and filled the sky. I sat on the deck laughing at their antics. They loved to fly but all eventually tried to get back into their nests. They couldn't maneuver the hole. They fluttered out front, perched on the top, then circled and tried again. They could not get back into the nest. Off they flew. Then there were none.....the sky is still full of birds....but the swallows have flown the nest.....

| he can't fly through that little hole and get back into the nest....... |

| so much for that no clutter policy....I can't seem to help myself...... |
(sorry I haven't visited much lately....my computer is still at the old place...(long story), so I can only blog when I am there. I miss all my blogging buddies.... one day we will be finished all of this.....)

sleek with no "extras" is boring, your collections are a sign of your full blown fabulous spirit.

Hi Susan
I'm still in love with all the beautiful light and mass of windows you have.. and you've made the place look so comfy.. what are your day rates? hehehe...
Love those rugs.. I have something similar I picked up in Turkey a million years ago...
Well remember to have some down time and relax.. you've done a great job of creating a comfy beautiful new home.. ciao xxx Julie
Your living room is beautiful and what a view!
It looks so pretty already. I thought you just moved. My favorite thing is to watch and commune with nature. If it would just cool off. We were at 106 degrees today and the drought is terrible. I never thought I would be ready to see some rain and cold.
And you call that a nest? That is pretty humble :-)
And this is me, dying of envy: #!!##.
I'm so glad that you have found such a peacock nest for you!
Oh, nice cushy arts-and-crafts furniture in the living room...and what a view!
Hello Susan:
We continue to be in awe of the most wonderful situation of your house. And, in our view, a few mosquitoes cannot spoil, nuisance though they are, the idyll.
It is always sad when the swallows fly the nest. In some ways it preludes the end of summer. Oh dear! Have a lovely weekend - bite free, we hope!
Enjoy this time of transition...and all of the newness...its a special time. Cheers! (I can almost taste that cold drink and feel the sun out on your deck!)
i absolutely love your new place! that second shot has me failing in love with this palace of yours. it seems you're in touch with nature.
Wow. I have run out of adjectives. It really is a sanctuary. I am freaking out over the deck and the view. Seriously? Awesome. Congratulations! :)
your nest is exquisite. i am jealous of that light filled room..........enjoy your break♡
Everything is absolutely beautiful! xoxo
