As Our Life Goes On

The twins in our neighborhood turned 90 last week. This is Harold helping Russ get ready to go get a lawn tractor. Russ helps Harold with heavy work at his house. There are still some old fashioned neighbors on our road. Notice that his T-shirt says Volunteer on the back. Harold as well as his twin brother Harry have long been a volunteers for many organizations in our area. We are indeed lucky to have them as our neighbors. 

Do you suspect that a bird would really rather nest in the nose of this spirit face birdhouse or the traditional birdhouse shown below. It seems that the wrens usually choose a well worn used birdhouse for their temporary homes. I just could not resist buying the face house at a local Goodwill store this morning though. We will find a place in the yard where we can see this funny looking house from the house and keep watching for any kind of bird to take up residence. The holes in the nose seem a bit large for a wren but perhaps another type of bird will like it. We'll see.
