It is a glorious, bright Saturday morning and the birds and bunnies are loving it.  So am I.  Leaves are really coming out on bushes and trees, and a bird is building a  nest on top of one of my motion lights outside my door wall.  I hope she doesn’t mid us looking out the window occasionally, or there will be some problems.  It’s a great place for a nest because it is right under the eaves, so well protected from predators and rain.  Spring is such a great time of year, when nature comes alive.  There is a chance for rain moving in tonight, but it is expected to be finished in the morning, then more sun tomorrow.
