We should probably be grateful that birds do not have opposable digits…

I really love it when proverbs come true, and “third time’s the charm” was the charm on my third visit to Apple Street to see if anyone was home. And they were. If they are planning to nest, they are not sitting yet. This makes me wonder. Picture from 2008.

Who are we to argue?

“January 6 – 9, 2010: The original Renaissance Pleasure Faire will transform the Egyptian Theatre’s Courtyard into an Elizabethan Village with food, vendors, craft demos and entertainment from the time of King and Queens. Inside the King’s Palace (or should we say the Pharoah’s Palace) tales of knighthood, quests for riches, revenge and revelry, not to mention a smattering of faeries, serpents and ravens will unspool on the giant screen…”
