This morning when I finally drug myself out of bed (stupid cold), I was feeding Ayla and getting ready to take her for the morning walk. While she was out in the courtyard waiting for me, the doorbell on our outer gate rang. It was an older gentleman and he asked about the rental doves. These of course belonged to the former owners and we thankfully didn’t take them over with the rest of the house. We had enough fecal matter from them already to deal with and still haven’t gotten all of it out of here…which is one of our many projects for when it finally starts warming up around here.

This visit is the second we’ve had since we’ve lived in the house and I’m starting to wonder what kind of money he was making off those birds. So far we’ve basically had one visit per month since the year started. Actually, we only moved in on the 18th of January so it’s basically a little over a month that we’ve been in here. I can only imagine that as the weather gets warmer and wedding season really starts that we will get more visits. We did find our address online with the previous owner as they’d apparently run a story about him on a local TV show. They promptly removed it when we contacted them but apparently there are still locations with his old posters and perhaps other advertising up. But now with all this traffic we’re either going to have to find someone to refer these people to or something.
