I love sitting on my little country porch.  Tonight I did some multi-tasking as I waited for supper to cook on the grill.  Barn swallows build a nest above our front door every year.  And every year I try and persuade them to relocate, but I've yet to be successful.  I've come to the conclusion that if they insist on living above the door, then they'll have to put up with me.  I don't think the parents liked that idea much, and I'm sure it interrupted their feeding schedule, but the babies never stirred.  I sure am glad I took my camera out with me.
