My stepdaughter has been writing in her blog about the excitement of spring revealing itself all around her home.
Me? Ranting about work and emotions gone amuk!
So, I'll take the cue, and clue you in on what's been up around here.
For the past two years, I have put a birdhouse that my daughter painted in school, on our front porch for decoration. It's quite small ... with only a wren-sized opening at best ...
Well, can you guess?
Carolina Wrens have decided to build their home in it this spring. We just discovered the activity this past weekend, and birding dad was quick to secure it to the rail, as it has had a tendency to blow off in severe wind conditions (eeeekkk!)
We will all listen and watch carefully for the hatch - Thanks Birding Girl for making me (and the wren family) that adorable colorful home!
The moral of this story is:

Don't ever discard those school projects, they may serve a need some day!
