We recently moved but in our prior house, Mr. and Mrs. Swallow built a nest right up next to our outdoor light. Every season they would come back and raise 3 batches of babies. Even though they were very messy, we loved watching them tend to their babies. We moved only two houses down and really wish that we could have left a sign for them saying "Come stay with us at our new house!"

Maybe it's I hate leaving the house to fight the traffic and knotheads on the road. Yea, that's the story. It's a beef steak suppose to be good for the black eyes by why waste a good piece of beef when a package of peas works just as well. Peas are a good thing to waste.Carol in N.

Someone even (very politely and sincerely) walked up and handed me a pamphlet about domestic violence. Even worse, some years ago my farming buddy got squished up against a wall by a cow and ended up going to the ER. They wanted to call social services. <br /><br />It does give those steaks that extra special seasoning though doesn't it?:)<br /><br />By the way, what kind of swallows are those?

They had one that lived on their porch for awhile but she never attacked anyone as far as I know. Glad your encounter didn't include a broken leg or something worse.
