Nesting instincts


Two pairs of cardinals set down in our flowering crab this morning, reminding us that this is the season for nesting. The house across the street just went up for sale, the mallards continue to tend their hiding place, and during her last visit here our granddaughter was struck by a need to create a nest in the Norwegian pine in the hopes than some unnamed species might soon inhabit it. It's hard no to get into the spirit of it all.
