I am very happy to say that our wonderful neighbors (the wonderful is a recent development) tore down their pigeon coup! No longer will our backyard smell like poop. I really stink at loving my neighbors. I actually think that my attitude over the pigeon coup has stunk more than the coup itself. Mark 12:31 says "Love your neighbors as your self." This is so difficult especially when their actions effect me in a negative way. There were no exceptions to the verse. I am glad I got this picture of this pigeon to remind me of this truth. I took this the night before the coup came down.  

I found this bag pattern here. My plan is to make another bag similar to this but with a padded dividers so that I can carry around my camera without looking like I am carrying around a camera. This one on Etsy is very nice but not fitting into my budget. I hope I can figure out how to construct one that will work...
