Window of Fear

Yesterday we had a system of storms pass through. At our house we had high winds and some hard rain. I looked out the window and saw my fern swinging hard and MamaWren hanging on tight. I ran out and let the fern down and tucked it safely behind a chair. The storm system  passed quickly and all was quiet again. 

Today I started to let a little storm arise In my life when my husband reminded me that fear is from the deceiver but we have our faith and trust in The Lord. 

Fuzz Balls

So all of my wren babies have hatched and are turning into little fuzz balls!  They are still ugly cute!  It is a blessing to watch them from my window!  Just to think that I almost missed this blessing!  This is a great reminder to not try to rip things away that might bring beauty!

Window Ferns Day 2

I am enjoying my baby wrens. They are growing so fast!  My children are so excited to see each day when more have hatched. They love the pictures.  Jilly was not happy that I wouldn't hold her up to see them. She was quick to understand though.  It is neat to see how God can bless us with His beauty when we don't get our way, like me not wanting a nest in my fern. 

Window Ferns

I love hanging ferns on my front porch outside my windows in the spring. The bad thing is trying to keep the birds out of the ferns!  It has been my mission this year to empty the ferns of any nests as soon as they are started.  I was doing great with this and it was working until I failed to check it for about 36 hours.  That's all it took and I had my first egg!  Next thing I know, there are SIX eggs!!! What bird in her right mind would lay 6 stinking eggs!?!?!?  I don't believe in abortion so I guess this makes me a foster mom to birds!  Here's our first hatch!
