The blog idea came about when we were watching the progression of some purple finches who had built a nest in one of our hanging baskets while we were on vacation. We pulled the plant down to water it, and there was a tiny little nest with five tiny little eggs. We then watched the birds interact for the next two weeks, as they started their little family. There will be a separate post all-together about these little guys.
As a little background - the porch is near (one house away) from and intersection, and there is a 7-11 convenience store that sits diagonally from us. Across the street from that - is a Rite-Aid drug store. At the end of our street - heading away from the intersection - is a large body of water. We can't really see the water from the porch, as there are other houses and trees in the way, and it's about 1/3 of a mile down.
So, open a cool one (or whatever you'd like to drink) and come sit with us for a bit. See the world through the view from the porch!
