One of my flying friends chose to build her nest in a precarious place.

I noticed the mud on the concrete first. Then little scraps of moss and grass.

I wanted to tell her this was not a great place, but she was very determined.

I placed a metal plate on the deck above her nest, so we would avoid that spot when we blew off the leaves and pollen.

I also knew that the beam her nest is on is in line with drips from the roof. That is where I set out my houseplants when it rains. I guess a bucket will go there now. Can’t let our nest of mud get wet!

Yesterday, I climbed a ladder while the parents were absent.

I held my camera over my head hoping to photograph eggs. Then I saw something tiny move.

Yes folks, I am a grandma again.

So I spent my Earth Day doing what we all should be doing, helping Mother Nature.

HAPPY EARTH DAY
