Don’t expect any visitors before end of Feb. or early March , but it’s exciting to already have news they are navigating. Love purple Martin time. Even makes mowing the lawn a less headache. So will be getting my houses up in the next two or three weeks. Before they left last August I told them to be sure they put my address in their GPS system.

Yep. the preparation is very exiting. I hung up washed gourds yesterday. Retiring an old T14 and setting up a 3.rd Super 24 rack for a total of 72 gourds. Expecting them between the 15th and 20th of February. We will see what 2019 brings.
