Sitting on the south portico as the evening sun draws the last light of the day with it over the western horizon, I see a quick shadow dart from the gray sky, skim overhead, and light in the darkened corner of a high ledge. Ilario has filled those ledges with two rows of upturned nails in order to confound pigeons. A pair of rondini— swallows—are blithely constructing a nest there of twigs, leaves, and grass, undaunted by the tight squeeze between nails. I should be annoyed that they have evaded our avian defenses, but I choose simply to see them as a gentle metaphor for our own happy nesting.
