Lovely but sad opening, Amy.

"I have made many a nest, but somehow
A place where you’re existing alone,
This is just a camp, without a fire."

In my entry hall, I have an antique sidbar.
Every shelf has nests, from birds that live at my place.
Some are large, and scruffy -
Some are tiny and frail.

The reason?

When friends enter my home, that is the first thing they see.
And I want them to feel what the nests represent:

Security
Safe Haven,
Peace,
Comfort
and most of all Love.

“Security

...and I (we) felt all of those things, dear Yorkie!

Thats lovely yorkie and I bet your guests always feel welcome at your place.

I have no birds but on the steps going upstairs from this room, I have a birdhouse on each step sorta under the bannister so to be out of the way of walkers. I love birds and houses, too.

Hope you’re having a nice day and are making much progress so you can get back to that trapeze act soon! Darn it, we need some entertainment around here! So get busy, girl! ((HUGS))

YOUR HOME WAS A TREAT ON ALL SUCH SCORES, YORKIE.

A TREASURED MEMORY, FOR SURE.

As was the lunch in Cottonwood, the last I saw you.

HUGS N HUGS.

Yorkie it is so wonderful to ‘see’ you here. I know I missed some earlier posts of yours and everyone elses as I stay away for periods of time now.

Your display of bird’s nests is a lovely idea and so is the thought behind it. Cardinals build many nests here and I have saved and kept some out on my patio.

Still praying for you and others here, and hope you are doing well my friend! No replies are needed as I know it is still very hard for you. (HUGS)

How interesting that is. No nests around here as no trees! :)
