If I Were Ann Althouse… …I’d take a picture. But you’ll have to trust me that, even as I blog, there’s a river pouring down Rokeby Avenue, Garrett Park, Maryland.… Our house is on a slope and seems to be draining the amazing amounts of water into the street pretty well, but we keep wandering down to the basement to check things. My main worry is the nest. Years ago I ordered a very cool terra cotta container with an image of a quail painted on it in black, but instead of sending me that, the company sent this --  -- a quail, certainly, but very uncool. I told them about the mistake, and they quickly sent me the right container. And they told me to keep the wrong one. I stuck the wrong one in a distant corner of the deck, under an eave, and forgot about it. Now there’s a wren, a nest, and four eggs in it. We think it’s a wren. I just checked. Dry. |
