Coaxing Spring

A month after Christmas and we finally put away all or Christmas decorations.

I'd like to think this is what the rains in California grew on my door :-)

A good friend helped me make this. Total cost (after using numerous coupons) was about $30. Prettier and bigger than a pre-made one at Michael's. The itty bitty bird house was in the dollar bin section at Michael's - transformed with a bit of borrowed paint from another friend.

When we got home yesterday from a matinee (everyone had the same idea too; the theater was packed!), a humming bird with bright raspberry-pink head was flying around near the door. My daughter was hoping that he was trying to make a nest inside the little bird house hanging from the wreath. Wouldn't that be a welcomed addition to the wreath?!
