Most of my faithful blog readers know how much I love birds. I love watching them, learning from them, and photographing them. One of the popular places for birds to build nests is my front porch. I have watched them diligently bring in all these twigs to make a safe haven for their eggs and young. I gain encouragement and confidence from watching these mamas. They are a sermon in themselves.
Last year we got our trees cut from our front yard They were becoming problems and The Husband and I try to avoid problems as we age. The yard is wide open, nice and pretty. However, in the summer, the sun has no blockage with no trees to shade. My front porch is too painfully hot as is the front of my house which houses the kitchen where I cook. Ovens make a kitchen hot and add the heat of the sun coming in through a porch and it's REALLY hot.
The Husband and I decided to get some rollup/rolldown exterior shades for the porch. They are perfect and keep things cooler as we had hoped. The shades were not up even one day before one of those wise mama birds found the top of one. Oh woe. For the first time ever, I had to sadly clean that up and come up with a plan. After researching online, I took one of the suggestions that was a simple painless fix.....

It works. A good quick fix for this issue if you have a need.
