Why Our Front Porch Is Never Decorated

This is my tale of woe...

Other blogs have lovely porches, decorated especially for Spring and Summer. They usually have a wreath on their front door that changes with the seasons...

I would love to have a pretty wreath that welcomes people to our home.

But when I put a wreath on the front door, it always ends up in the garage trying to be salvaged. 

Birds like to build their nests on our front porch. It seems as soon as I put a wreath on the door, some bird couple claims that little piece of real estate as theirs, and the nest building begins.

Usually I don't discover their nest until they've lived in it for a little while...and pooped on the window...and made the wreath unsalvagable. 

This time though, I saw the birds right away before they had time to build a nest in our new geranium wreath. 

There was only a few twigs stuck in the wreath, so I pulled the twigs out and dropped them on the floor of the porch...

I was hoping the birds would be able to use them to make a nest somewhere else. Somewhere else far away hopefully!

And since the birds hadn't had a chance to dirty up the wreath, I found the wreath a new home too...

Thanks for dropping by!
