I stopped to smell the flowers and see the chicks
As a follow-up to my previous story called there is no place like Gnome, I decided to stop by Tucks Clucks and see what all the chirping was about.
This place is hopping with activity and there is never a dull moment around here.
I spoke to the owner and asked if I could take some photos for this story.
He said sure and then told me jokingly to grab a paint brush and join him on the Scaffolding , an offer that I graciously declined. You will see why later in the story as it was really high up there.

A Note from the owner
Here is the story on the bird houses: I am teaching my grandchildren how to make them. ten percent of the sales will be going to local charity and the rest to taking the grand kids to Disney . I think it is important to teach the kids early about giving back leaning new skills and setting goals.
have a great day.
