Home Sweet Home
We are not the only ones enjoying the space provided by the new workshop. A mother wren also decided it would make an ideal spot to make her home. Since the soffits of the building haven't been finished, she was able to fly inside and find a cozy spot to build her nest and lay her eggs. What you're looking at is Fred's blue rain jacket lying in a Rubbermaid bin on the floor. Mama bird formed her nest inside the sleeve of that jacket and proceeded to deposit 3 speckled eggs into it. I hope most of our noisy, power-tool requiring projects can wait long enough for those babies to hatch and fly off. I love this time of year when all the little creatures are being born!

I am just SO enjoying your blog!! Just had to tell you -
how sweet!! we used to have birds roost above our light on the porch. after they attached several poker guests matt decided they had to go. the last year they came was the year reese was born and matt just kept tearing down their nest--meanwhile i was in tears b/c i'd just brought my baby home to a safe home and the thought that a mother bird had nowhere for her babies to be born & grow just broke my heart. i guess she got the message b/c they never returned (after 3 or 4 years of having a nest there.)
jota--that last comment was from me--i forgot to write my name. :)
