I will be on the road again today, so I will share an old story. Many of Vernon Littge’s bluebird houses can still be found in East Perry County. The one on my property is showing signs of wear, but it is once again occupied by a pair of bluebirds with little ones. Our friend, Larry Degenhardt, is doing his best to build and place new bluebird houses in this area. Missouri’s state bird continues to thrive in our neighborhood.
