While I was sitting on my porch swing yesterday, I noticed a bluebird exiting his house. Then a wren went in. After several in and outs by the wren, with the bluebird watching, I wondered what the deal was.

Chicks? Whose? So I took a peek by removing the lid. It appears the wren was in the process of taking over the bluebird nest. I cleaned it out and later watched the bluebirds return to building their nest. Weird.

We received 0.3 inches of rain the other evening. Barely enough to dampen the ground, but better than nothing. I'm hoping my well doesn't run dry from watering my garden. It's the original 100 yr old well, brick lined, probably rather shallow. I've never run out of water before, but you never know.

It appears I'll be "berry-less" this year. Drought, late frost, and birds have, in one way or another, decimated straw, rasp, black, and blue berries. I'm bummed out.

Our big local news is that Gov. Mitch Daniels will be the new president of Purdue U. Of course, I don't care.
Plus, the paper was full of looking back over 40 years since Title IX, the anniversary of women sports in school.

Enjoy a great week. Life is good.
