Today was a beautiful day. I have been waiting and waiting for the weather to warm up. I think I may have mentioned how much I despise winter... Well today was the best medicine. I went for a run and when I came back I started cleaning off the front and back porches. While I was cleaning off the chairs and tables, I found this nest. Let me give you some background. This nest is actually from last year. I had put this flower pot on the back porch and didn't plant anything in it right away. When I was ready to plant something, I found this perfectly formed nest inside the pot. I just left it because I thought it was cool and decorative...yes decorative - don't judge :-) Anyway, the crafty bird that built it never came back to lay any eggs in it. But I still left it - all spring, summer, fall, and winter. So today when I looked into the pot, I was checking to see if my pretty little nest was still intact in the flower pot. What I found were these three little blue eggs! Now if that is not a sure sign that spring is on it's way, I don't know what is. What an eggcellent day!
