Well, even though I've been enjoying the good old Christmas memories, springtime is definately in the air. I love the cool fresh breeze, the birds chirping and our grass is turning from a drab brown color to a vibrant green, its like everything is waking up and its time for a new beginning :) Easter is coming up soon, and Springtime certainly reminds us of the sacrifice of our Savior, whom truly gave us the marvelous chance of having new beginnings. To illustrate the "springtime in the air" theme, a lovely little bird has decided to make her little home on our front door rose wreath! It got blown down from the windstorm last week, when i first noticed the new little nest, which I couldn't resist throwing off to the side, even though I was sure once I touched it she would never come back, so I gently situated it back into the wreath and hung it back on the door. Its so amazing how intricately the nest was made, how much time it must have took! to carry each little blad of grass or twig (or trash unfortunately)! And can you believe, she returned and has been laying an egg a day! Four total so far!! It is so precious to me! I love it and feel like I'm her little protector! The eggs are so beautiful - they are a light blue with brown specs! Imagine to have my own little "easter" eggs !! I can't wait to see the four little baby birdies!! We try to be very careful when opening the door. We have disturbed the mother a couple of times hopefully she won't fly into the house one day!!

I love this!! You'll have to post pictures of the babies when they hatch. I love Spring too!~
How cute is that nest! I am so glad they found a good home hehe. We have a birdhouse that has a family of bluebirds that have been returning for 3 years. It's so much fun to hear the babies (not yet this year of course) and see the beautiful birds. Last week Sangha was sitting in my open window and he starting "chittering". I looked out the window and saw the beautiful mother on top of the house! I hope she lays her babies in the house again. I hope all is well! OH and I was looking at a catalogue and saw a painting of three girls playing instruments, one on the piano, on at the cello and one with a violin. I thought of the Aycock girls!
