My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rufous In OC CA!!

18 years ago

I was out filling feeders at dusk, it was like a feeding frenzy! We had a nice warm day today, and I hear a familiar sound. The whirling of a Rufous! Yes, there he is!

Now, is he a holdover, or a migrator? It is a little early, but we did have some strange weather the past few weeks.

I will try to get him tomorrow.

Toodles,

Laura
