Feather Your Nest

A few weeks ago, my girls made a discovery in one of the ferns on my back porch...


The next week, they squealed when we peeked in on these little guys...


And the week after that...


They were grown and all that remained was an empty nest.

Although my girls won't leave my nest quite as quickly as the little birdies, I know that all too soon they will be grown, and independent, and ready to leave their mama to tackle the big, bad world on their own.  My hope is that I am able to feather this nest with enough love and support and encouragement that when the day comes that they're ready to spread their wings... they'll soar.

Happy Mother's Day from me to you!
