The hatching is doing fine. Hungry and ready for meal!

This nest is again improbably right next to my porch door in an abandoned planter that is against the brick wall. Every time we go in and out the door now, we have to be careful not to scare the mother away for too long. I got this picture while the mother was out.

Each petal brings a wish your way
I wish you have what you need today

This verse was inspired by my father.  When I would worry about the future, he would ask,

“Do you have what you need today?”

Back again this year, undaunted by the hard freezes.
