So she stayed put. A bird has since made a nest on top of the wreath.
I picked this wreath up at a Thrift Shop and paid very little for her. $2 I think. Good thing. The elements are really hard on outside items. A new outside wreath might weather 3 years and then she'd need replaced.
Something so simple as a thrift shop wreath can add some charm to your porch, door or wall. Put a smile on your sweet face.
In a short time the birds will fly the coop. Who'd have thunk it. Baby birds in my wreath. I have had birds make nests in my potted plants before so I shouldn't be shocked.
I like to have Holiday or Seasonal Wreaths on the entry doors of my HOME.
As you enter my HAVEN, you see a mood elevator.
What are the simple things that you've added to your HOME that bring you great enjoyment or set a happy mood? It's important to have things in your HOME that put a smile of satisfaction on your face. Doesn't have to cost a great deal. There are areas in my HOME that I enjoy seeing and it's like EYE CANDY when I glance at it. A QUICK PICK ME UP. These touches help put me at ease and be at HOME.
Perhaps seeing the inside of your fridge all tidied and clean makes you smile or having a family gathering in your HOME makes you happy. The towels folded just so so for easy access makes you chime. Perhaps seeing an old photograph of family that's hanging on the wall above your bed brings to mind I'm blessed...I have a family. God has blessed me. That little decorative touch that adds a sense of contentment and pleasure has a purpose. It's a satisfaction that feeds the soul.
Is your HOME a place of ease or a place of tension? May God help us to have a HOME that nurtures us to be all we are suppose to be.
Thank you for stopping by...
God bless and may you have a delightful day.

Deuteronomy 22:6
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree,
or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs,
and the dam (mother) sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs,
thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

Hi Deanna,
Your wreath is lovely, so welcoming to your home. Love the sweet birds nest and funny the way they build in places like this. We had a birds nest in our window box last year.
Thank you for the verse and all you share.
Have a happy week
Hugs

Deanna,
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the Pentecost thoughts &prayers.
Love the wreath!
God bless!
Beautiful and encouraging, I especially like the verse at the end, I will share that with my bb gun weilding son . . . I have a photo of each set of grandparents by my bed, and I've wondered why I chose that spot for them, and your post clicked to a reason why. They encourage me. Show me my roots. Show me my heritage. As I click my light off at night, I see their wise faces, and know my path has been set before me by the Lord. Besides my sweet family, I love seeing their faces before I drift to sleep!(Putting the leftovers in a sparkly fridge would be even more so equally awesome . . . .)
Hi Deanna....I liked this post...and especially that you even found a verse to go along with the bird nest full of eggs in your wreath! God even cares about the little things in our lives...and he cares for the birdies.
I have lived in my home for 4 years and I am so content here...and so thankful. There are so many things that make me smile. The list is very long. But as I said...I am always telling my hubby how much I love our home.
One of the best things is that we are always here together in our retirement years. I love it.
I am so glad that your Home is your Haven too.
Love you,
Linda
