While some family members discourage our fine feathered friends from nesting on their house, we have accepted that it is easier to just go with it and clean up the mess the make. The only real downside is that on the rare occasions when we actually use the front door, we get dive bombed by some over protective swallows. But in a few weeks they’ll be gone, and then we can just go back to worrying about spiders taking over the house.
