Wrens at back porch nest and city hall talk on beer permits
The writer observes wrens building a nest in a porch box with one bird bringing materials while the other sings and ad-libs about the work. Locust blossoms and bumblebees accompany spring on the same back lot as the author recalls a past bumblebee incident. At City Hall the census and beer permit limits are discussed, tracing Washington’s city clerk history from 1864 to today and noting duties have grown with the hall’s use.
