Month: May 2018

This year’s European trip starts with a big discovery 

After contacting the big Uber car company to transport me to the airport I exited the house by the way of the front door. Note that I have not used the front door for a while because I have been mowing and wood chucking and thus already outside at mail time which is the main reason I use the front door. Looking up I made a discovery. You may have noticed that this year’s award winning Yusmith calendar  May photo is a nest of barn swallow that lived last year at the top of the front porch. After they were gone I had to hook up a Rube Goldberg device involving my long tree trimming pole, the pressure washer and duct tape to get the nest down and cleaned up. So imagine the sadness I felt when I looked up to see this.
