This week I had the funniest thing happen and I just had to write about it. I was working on my computer, doing school work. My husband was outside working. He calls me and tells me to bring my car keys and come outside immediately. I get worried if he asks for my car keys, he doesn't drive my car much. Well, I get outside and find that a pair of wrens have built a nest in my car. They built it behind the front grill but in front of the radiator. It took them all of about 4 days to build it. But they did a good job. We ended up taking the car to the dealership to get the front grill off, just to be on the safe side. The service guys came out, didn't understand that there was a bird nest behind the grill. As soon as they took the front grill off there was the bird nest taking up over 1/3 the space. It went half way up the front and then spread (think triangle shaped) to both sides of the radiator area. I'm sure my radiator was glad I got rid of it too. But I did end up with a pair of unhappy birds. Since then, if I'm not driving it, we have put a plastic garbage bag over the grill so we don't get a new nest. Silly birds.
What a lovely cold front. We hit a low of 21 last night. They had forecast a low of 26, but we hit that around 4-5 PM yesterday. But this morning is lovely, and we've warmed up to all of 31degrees by 11:30 AM. Tonight they are saying a low of 31 degrees with a 50% chance of rain/freezing rain. And we're supposed to hit a high of 47 today. So it will be a roller coaster weather the next few days. And again, no gardening for me. Glad the plants are covered. Just a side note, I've already had a few irises blooming, purple irises.
