They do love to do their thing in the middle of the night. Sometimes, even with the windows closed, I can hear them. But with the weather being really nice at night, all the windows are open and my feathered choir has entertained me several times. I could just picture you throwing that potato.<br />Hugs,<br />SharonGrammy Braxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719293877336161714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-46021065877084937082015-07-04T21:50:15.662-07:002015-07-04T21:50:15.662-07:00Too funny!!

Since they are the highest roosts in the area, buzzards LOVE to roost , poop and break the antenna fingers, at least until my husband mounted a black plastic hanger (I know, LOL) on top. Now the top roost is too small for a buzzard, who has now been replaced by a mockingbird! I agree, the mockingbird does drive us a little crazy, but a huge improvement to the buzzard problem!

Thanks to the current heat wave the windows are closed tight and I can't hear a thing.

It is too hot and humid, and just when it gets nice the world is covered in green pollen that seeps inside open windows and wreaks havoc.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-85567256504798512882015-06-26T08:40:35.578-07:002015-06-26T08:40:35.578-07:00Hi Lynne!

I know exactly how you feel being sleep deprived with a husband who can sleep through anything. Mine even finds it soothing! It is mating season here in east county San Diego too. I can hear one across the way at night and feel strangely blessed that it's not right outside my window. Love, love, love the new green quilt. All your quilts have inspired me in my own designs. Thank you for writing it all out and sharing the fun.Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-82386260242532164322015-06-25T16:55:24.651-07:002015-06-25T16:55:24.651-07:00Your post cracked me up.

It always worked to shut him up and he never ever actually hit him.:) Sounds like a tried and true method!audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-32398465608101268742015-06-25T15:18:03.218-07:002015-06-25T15:18:03.218-07:00The quilt is looking pretty.
