Bungalow Ranch Style

Yesterday’s hailstorm knocked a big crow’s nest out of the Douglas Fir tree in our neighbor’s yard. It landed neatly on our side of the hedge. We’re going to have to move it, or run it over with the truck. I just hate to smash it up. It’s sculptural. Of course, we can’t really bring it inside or anywhere in the yard because that’s just asking for a case of mites, either on us, the dog, the cat…or the chickens, which are the most likely candidates. So, in our driveway it sits.

I also started on an herb spiral, but ran out of stones. So, it’s all carved out and planted, but needs the stones for the edges. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

The two photos are interesting juxtaposed. They’re both sort of natural and swirling, but one is very structured, and the other more organic. I bet if I ran over the herb spiral and the crow’s nest with the truck, the crow’s nest would suffer less overall damage. All that interlocking craziness makes for a strong structure. Heck, it already fell at least 20 ft to the ground and survived.
