Welcome to our Patch of Heaven

We have forgot to let you know of our newest addition to the Patch of Heaven we call home. We have a momma bird and a papa bird that return every year. They always lay their eggs in the ferns that hang on the front porch. For many years we would have dead ferns hanging up because we were always afraid to water them in case we "drowned" the baby birds. Finally we got smart and bout plastic ferns to hang in the front. Why we had not thought of that before I am not sure. The ferns we had used in the past the leaves were turning blue, so we had to break down and buy new ones. We took out the birds nest that they had been calling homes for 5 years. We hung the new plastic ferns up, not thinking that our little friends would be back. We hung those ferns up on Saturday and by Wednesday, they had a nest made. By Easter weekend this is what we found in the nest. The bunny must have stopped early!

Well today we looked at the little home to see
if we had been visited by the stork, and what do
you know , there were 5 little soft looking baby birds. I think they are Chickadees. These are little birds that you see very common in Tennessee. They are so cute though. We will keep you posted the Bird Family.


Have a great night!
