If you build it...

there is no guarantee that anything will come.  Or so is the lesson we are learning from our birdhouse that Trevor has up in the backyard.

He got a plain wooden birdhouse for Easter this year, and during break we spent an afternoon painting and decorating it and hug it on a hood out at the back of our property.

As of yet, no birds have taken up residence...despite the plethora of birds that we have spent countless hours watching out there this spring.  Ah well.  We tried.
