Some Things Never Change

 

When she was little, she loved playing in the dirt and would help me in the garden on a regular basis. Today, I told her I got the things we need to grow flowers, and she started playing in the dirt and planning what would be planted in the front of the house. The good news is that I may mot have to take care of the garden this year. I may not even have to plant it. 

Porch Nest

For the past few years, we have had a bird family with a nest in a flower pot on our porch. It’s exciting when the babies hatch and we can watch the mommy bird feed the babies as the squeak and look up begging to be next. Sometimes we can see their heads poke up above the sides of the pot. I have tried to take pictures in the past, but the parents are protective and don’t want up getting that close. 

This year, I have not seen much activity there yet. A few weeks ago, I saw what looked like two birds working on the nest, but I haven’t seen them since. I hope it is just that they are there when you m not looking out the window. I keep the pot there for the birds, and I would be sad if they didn’t come back.
