It rained all night lloonngg. The sound of the rain hitting the roof and rustling through the trees was quite soothing - until I woke up at 6:30 and it was still raining. The front porch looked water logged - and to think that wood was sealed!

Then reality set in - AM I GONNA BE ABLE TO GET OUTTA HERE?! I was planning on staying for most of the morning but quickly rethought that plan and started to pack up - new departure plan...ASAP!

If you're wondering - yes - the nest is still tucked in the eave of the front porch and other than getting beaned on the head with a pine cone (I just keep adding them to the bird bath tray), my trip, once in the car, went quick and uneventful. That is until I neared Mannheim...but what else is new - Welcome to the jungle!
