A Different Kind of Meta Monday

I'm writing this as I look out my front window, watching some beautiful little finches hanging out in the Lorapetalum bush (aka Chinese Fringe Flower) outside my window. I can also see that there is a nest perched on some of the branches; not sure if there are eggs in there or not. Guess I'll have to take a peek later.

Now for my "different" Met Monday post, which comes compliments of my hubby. His "surprise" was revealed Saturday morning and lasted until Sunday night, which was waaay too long for my liking. He's the one who told me to post this for Meta Monday.

BEFORE

I didn't have time to find a picture that showed the house on a normal day, so this one from last month will have to do.

AFTER

Isn't this a welcoming sight to wake up to? I even saw one of my neighbors walk by with her dog and start laughing. Cars creeped past the house, people pointed as they walked by. Just great!

The good news is that my birthday isn't until Wednesday, so I have a few more days in my 30's.

My dogfreaked out when she saw them, so we took her outside to check it all out. She had her tail tucked between her legs and was shaking until she realized they weren't real. Too funny!

Now I'm just glad those pesky birds are gone!

He redeemed himself a little bit with a big surprise party Saturday evening. Even so, paybacks are coming...
