Sunday

Ugh and blah, not nearly enough sleep last night.

Wren Update: Not on the nest, five eggs clearly visible. I dunno, guys, maybe wrens just aren't the most attentive of avian mothers. Whatever, I refuse to worry about it.
ETA that it's about 20 minutes later and she's on the nest. Saw a wren on the deck, guessed it might be her, and it was. :-)

Mostly cloudy and very humid, although it's not supposed to rain. 64 degrees (17.7 Celsius). More later, probably. Bluh.

Maybe wrens are able to sense when the nest is too warm and go take a break?

It's a gorgeous day today and we have the porch door open. Corgiguy planted some stuff in the big ornamental pots in the yard and we went to Home Depot to look at small push mowers.

Yep, I think that's it -- wrens must have super-sensitive thermal sensing, and know when to let the eggs cool off a bit, because it seems like it's just every now and then that she's gone.

We've got doors and windows open, but it's still cloudy and very humid. Not bad, though. We have a small push mower! You mean the motor-less kind? It is fantastic exercise. Or it would be if I used it. *g*

Our yard is so uneven and hilly that a reel mower wouldn't work on it. We were looking for a small electric mower we could use to trim along the fences and get in the corners where the power mower can't go. What with the hills, it'll still be good exercise. :) We used to do all that trimming with the weed whacker, but it's murder on middle-aged hands and elbows. My arm hurts for a week after using the thing.
