We do have one good sign that someone has faith that better weather is on the way. Here is our front door with the wreath Jami sent me a few years ago. It is so realistic looking that the birds adopt it occasionally to build a home and rear their young. Year before last some birds were raised in the nest you can see on the front - it kind of started falling off to the front of the wreath over the winter. So last week we noticed some nest building going on on the top of the wreath, over the top of the previous nest. And today I peeked . . .
and they've started laying eggs. I got dive bombed by some very nervous parents when I started aiming my camera at them. It will be interesting to see if they lay more than just these two - and fun to watch them hatch and be fed and learn to fly all right from our front door. But I do know from previous experience that it is not so fun to clean up after all of them when they get almost full-grown. Lots and lots of bird poop, right out our front door. Notice already what a mess they made splattering mud just building their nest.

How fun! What out for the bird parents though, they can be pretty mean about their space!
