Spring is Sloooowly Arriving

Someone is building a nest on the wreath on our front storm door.  This has happened before and it is a huge inconvenience, initially because once Mama Bird lays her eggs, you’ve got to go in and out of the door very carefully so the eggs don’t fall out, and if you forget, Mama will fly out unexpectedly and scare the heck out of you, and then once those babies are born, the mess is tremendous.  However, since it’s on the glass storm door, if we open the inside door carefully, we will have a front row seat witnessing the births and infant/toddler stages of the baby birdies, which makes the mess and inconvenience worth it, I think.

Fickle April is halfway over.  May will bring warmth and sunshine and planting, field trips, playgrounds, flip-flops, popsicles, and happiness.  Goodbye, Winter.  Don’t let the door hit you on your way out, dude.
