Yard Work…

Lis and Sam were clearing away some leaves from the flower bed last week and decided to clean up the huge pile of leaves by the sewer drain (it’s really not on our property but it needed to be cleared away).  In the process of doing this they found a huge supply of worms and decided they would start a worm farm.  Of course they didn’t really know what they were doing but they got an old potato bag and some dirt and put the worms in there for safe keeping.  After doing a little research online they found the best place to put them would be by the window in the den where it was cool and didn’t get a lot of sun.  Lis has been feeding them some leftover celery and other produce but fortunately since putting them in the bag we really haven’t seen them.  🙂

Meanwhile in the backyard a bird built a bird nest in the small tree by the vegetable garden.  Lis was looking at the nest and realized that it had somehow managed to get a very large piece of French baguette into the nest… it’s actually part of the nest wall.  Now judging by the size of the nest, the bird wasn’t really that big so we don’t know how it managed to get it up in the tree.  The good thing though, the bread is probably now as hard as a rock and should provide some good protection.  🙂
