Moving

So I'm planning a move of our house. About 20 - 40 miles. That's it. It still requires packing. It still requires movers. It still requires figuring out how to do all this in the next 2 weeks. No, I would not say I am stressed about it. I would say I am intriuged by why people do this. Nest in one place to pick up and make a new nest in another place. I will give credit to the birds, they just leave it all and start new. The female robin does not hold tight to a piece of string that she found and have to take it with her. The male robin does not reminisce about a couple sticks and how he wrestled a bluejay for the rights to them and demand they figure out a way to bring all 3 sticks with them. No. They just leave it all behind. Done and done. Off to the new. Although when birds do that they pick up more sticks, string and leaves from the ground for free. If we left our couch, I am not sure if we would be able to get another without spending a dime. Unless we find one on the side of the road. As Jeff Foxworthy says, "If that's there after dark, it be in my living room."
