new tenants

a few weeks ago, as i was coming out my front door, i noticed all these twigs and grassy bits on the porch floor.  i thought it was strange but it had been windy the night before so maybe it made sense.  for a few days this went on, more appears after i sweep.  it must be the mail man or kids or... finally, out of the corner of my eye, i see this curl of blue from an old tarp blowing in the breeze and i look up.  this is what i see

we have robins nesting in our porch light.  they are very messy tenants.  we have taken to using the back door.

here's some new work in the shop
