    oh Lori - what fun!! will you be sure and give us updates? I wonder if you will still be able to get close enough for pictures? Only a week and then ....baby birds!! It would be so exciting to actually watch an egg hatch. Then later - lots of fun "TV" for the kitties

    I found it kind of poetic

    A question arise though, how do you water the flowers without disturbing them?

    Wow, that's a classy nest they found there, and so sweet! It will be such fun when they hatch, and of course, great entertainment for the kitties - from the inside, hopefully!

    Your flowers are beautiful!

    Very carefully. I watch till the momma leaves and then I water around the sides of the basket away from the nest. Unfortunately that isn't working the best for the petunias so I may have a very ugly flower basket before it's over.

    Agree 1,000%! How sweet! Welcome, baby wrens. Cassie Cat would be hiding under the sofa, spooked by fluttering wings.

    We have babies! I checked yesterday and it looked like momma was still sitting on the eggs but today she and Daddy are busy bringing food. I peeked in and saw at least two little bald babies.

    I'll try to get pictures in a day or so.

    Oh boy, what fun. Are you providing some food as a present?
    I love the colors in the basket.
