I am not much of a seasonal decorator, but I always change the artificial flowers in by containers by the front doors. The spring arrangement usually goes through the summer too. Then fall gets a facelift followed by Christmas. Not sure if I am loving the white hydrangeas. I think I want to trade them out for cream colored. Sometimes house finches come and make a nest in it. It is so fun to see the birds hatch and grow. They didn’t come last year though or this year. : (
Sometimes the birds build the nest before I get rid of the Christmas greenery. I have to throw it away once the birds are gone because of all the poop as you are about to see in these pics.
Cute little eggs. I bet some of you want to use them for decoration!
It was hard to get pics up on a stool while holding your camera downward, but here are the newborns.
They are growing. Gosh they poop a lot!
Leaving the nest.
Happy Spring










That looks great! I really like the artichokes, they are super fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks great and the birds are so cute.
ReplyDeleteYou've really inspired me. I seem to forget about my poor front door. Hope you'll come by Atticmag for our really useful giveaway. -- Jane F.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty front door arrangement! Very spring-y :) And that is crazy how the birds come and make nests in your decor. Sooo funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the decor and I love watching the birds. I could sit and watch our birds all day long. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful. When I arrange flowers, it looks like my 4 year old did them. Yours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Followed, Followed, Followed!! I am so glad I found your blog! You home and your pictures are stunning!!! I will need a refill on my cup of coffee, and an hour or more to ready each and every post! ;) Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos of the house finches...I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the nice comment. I love your new front door arrangement - and how fun that you had baby birds right at your doorstep. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy! I replied to your question as a comment on my blog. Let me know if you have any other questions! I also wanted to say I am SO glad you waited to get rid of the decorations until the babies were grown and flown from the nest. We had a nest on top of a flood light on our house and were painting our house ourselves. I made my husband paint around it (though he wanted to take it down!), so we still have a little unpainted spot from where the nest once was. ;)
ReplyDeleteBee-You-Tee-Full! another great project! Hope to see you back at my place again real soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers in your arrangement and the birds are too, cute. I know they are messy though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely arrangement!! I love the artichokes too!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have a sweet little bird family right there in your wreath. :o)
