Feng Shui This Courthouse in Paris KY

Last week I went on a little excursion to Paris without leaving the state.  Our Paris is in Bourbon county, KY.  You can't get more KY than that!  While driving to Paris you can almost feel your blood pressure go down as you gaze over the beautiful green fields with their stately mansions and gorgeous horses.  And, yes...there are even a few cattle on the way.  Horses may get all the attention, (Secretariat lived here and is buried at Claiborne Farms) but here in Kentucky we also love our cattle.  Just ask them, they'll tell you.  

But, back to the courthouse.  It's a lovely old building, completed in 1905.   It's here we go to find the tax records and old deeds that realtors always seem to be flipping though.  So, looking at this massive set of steps is part of the job.   Funny though...once you get to the top of these steps we find an interesting little "situation".

It appears that someone is messing up the landing.  Obviously, bad manners, but still an interesting little "spot".

So, I look up...and SHAZAM...there they were.  Ma and Pa Pigeon have built themselves a lovely little nest out of...wait a minute...what is that?

It appears to be some sort of barbed wire.

It seems some of "it" is laying on a  nearby window ledge.  

There we have it.  KY pigeons are the toughest birds ever... 

Try to block them and they'll use the wire spikes for nesting material.  They would have made great pioneers.  Or, maybe it's just this group of Paris KY pigeons?  Resourceful, dedicated, talented...and very good at making the best of a bad situation.   Apparently they like the feng shui here!

I love a good power struggle.  So far the little birdies are winning.
