Their little heads peeking through the feathers are so cute. 🥰 You can raise the plate as they grow. Get the anti-roost cone, too...

    I spent some time thinking about that. We watched them renovate it, they stripped it down to the studs. I don't know if that is sufficient for remediation or not. I've never seen kids or pets there unless they have indoor pets. I think it's being rented by students. One of them has a nice car...

    What food are you craving RIGHT NOW?

    I'd love some prime rib right now. And a green salad. But the sun has gone down and it's 90F and dropping so instead I'm going to go outside and get more work done.
