Easter decor on the front porch became spring decor when it had to be left in place for a longer period of time than anticipated. The reason was unanticipated houseguests - a pair of housefinches who nested in a metal basket of silk blooms. Because the basket was hung conveniently at eye level, we were quite intimate with the process of nest building, egg laying, and chick development. While it was fun to watch, by the time the adorable nestlings were ready to fly, we were ready for them to leave. The concrete and the wall needed a good scrubbing, the flowers were trashed and the basket needed a thorough steam cleaning!
In the end there was no room left at the inn!
