A Love Story....

 The other evening...

While we were BBQ'ing...

I grabbed my camera...

To do a walk around...

When I looked into one of our feeders...

Was I surprised to see this...

They had been on my bathroom window sill...

And my boyfriends as well...

Obviously they decided to set up house...

In the bird feeder!!!

 A while later...

Mrs. flew in...

While...

Mr....

Was laying in the garden...

Mrs. looked down at Mr...

He said "I'm right here"...

Mrs. said...

"Go and get something to eat...

Then...

Come back here...

And....

Sit up here...

So...

I can get something to eat!"

Mr. replied... 

"No problem doll-face!!"

 

While they were under the feeders eating...

2 Sparrows flew in...

Had a look around...

Moved on... 

"Are you looking at my Mrs?"

As the sun was setting...

Mr joined Mrs....

Hopefully the eggs will hatch and all will live happily ever after...


Hope you all enjoyed the Love Story....:o)
