The Birds

We just had our house painted and haven't gotten the screens put back on the windows. With that said, I was doing some painting in my bathroom, so I opened the doors and windows to help the drying process along.  The next thing I knew I heard all this chirping going on and it sounded really close.  Yep, two Barn Swallows got in our master bedroom.  I was running around flailing my arms like a crazy person trying to shoo them back out.  Meanwhile I think every time they took off they would lighten their load, on my comforter, window treatments, walls, well just all over the bedroom. When that didn't work, I closed all the doors and windows except  the balcony doors and finally I was able to scare them out (I know they were scared because I kept thinking, "Dude, if some giant was chasing me and acting all crazy, I'd be scared").  It took me almost 30 minutes to get them out and more than once I thought I wasn't going to win that battle.

Aren't they sweet looking

Crazy little birds, why is it that they can find their way in, but not out?

Just another day in the country ya'll.

Peace, Love & Decorate
