A few years ago I was sitting on the deck at my father’s house, enjoying a cigar, and noticed a birdhouse hanging on a tree. I walked up and realized it was the birdhouse I made when I was about 12 years old in wood shop. It was now painted white with a green roof and there was an actual nest in it! My dad told me that chickadees nested there every spring. My father loved nature. An avid fisherman, he also took a special interest in birds; hanging hummingbird feeders, birdhouses, even feeders for the nuisance squirrels all over the yard. For some reason, our conversations on the deck always had at least one squirrel story in them..... Don’t ask.
