Those darn birds....

This picture says it all!!! Every spring and early summer we have birds that want to build their nests right above our front porch on one of the crossbeams (right above our front door!) :0( So, for a few weeks Jim has to drag the ladder out 2-3 times a day and take down the beginnings of nests! They are very persistent little birds and continue to keep trying for a few weeks. (If you have had a bird nest by your house you know what a huge "mess" they make---I won't go into the gory details!)

This year we thought they finally got the message---we hadn't been finding the nest building materials right in front of our front door for a week or two. But, every time we opened the front door a bird would fly away so Jim was thinking that they must have build a nest in one of the bushes around our front porch! (Not great, but definitely better than right over our front door!)

Well, this morning he came inside and said "I found the nest...." (See the picture!) Those darn birds built a nest right on top of the wreath that I have on the front of our house! And, I LOVE that wreath and just loved how it looked on the front of our house! Those darn birds....
