In the midst of spring
Spring, to me is the best time of the year, not too hot, not too cold. I count my self lucky to live in this part of the country and even luckier to be greeted by birds making lots of noise apparently talking to each other, enjoying the beautiful California weather. Every year we have a mama bird make nest for her babies in a hanging plant I have just outside my door. Many times I plan on taking it down and replace it with something else, but I always think about my little friends who think this is the perfect place to make their nest. This morning as I was outside, I noticed that mama birds was busy. I took a peek, and indeed 5 eggs in this perfect little nest. I look at her and I somehow couldn’t imagine how 5 eggs could possibly come out from this tiny bird.
