In a family sort of way

May 25, 2012 by Beth Shepherd

For lease birdhouseThree years ago we put up a bird house. No renters.

The next year we advertised. Still, no renters.

Then last fall, we put up two bird houses, raised their height, and changed the location. And….

WE’VE GOT TENANTS. Chickadee tenants. A birdie family who are “with child”…or would that be, with chickadee.

In the past few days there’s been a LOT of activity at one house in particular. All sorts of comings and goings. I can’t wait to see what the upcoming weeks bring.

Since my own little duo recently became a trio with the addition of Baby Bird, I feel all the more excited that our bird friends are in a family sort of way!

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
