Home again

Back in Kentucky, the barn swallows are starting to nest in the carport. These swallows have been building their nest in that space for the last ten years, and probably for generations before that, but my mom is (notice giant scary-eye-balloon-thing) trying to scare them away because they poop on her car. The swallows glide by scary-eye-balloon-thing with straw in their beaks and build their nest anyway. They probably wonder why they have to start fresh every year instead of coming home to last year's cozy spot, but maybe they like the work, maybe building things is satisfying for birds, too. In any case, this is mostly a note to my mom that says, "THE SWALLOWS WIN AGAIN!" and that we win, too because its nice to have plants and animals at the house, especially bug-eating animals. Hooray! Looks like the car is going to have to take a summer vacation if it wants to stay shiny and black.
