Spring has sprung all around

This spring, we had a family of house finches lay a nest on the wreath I forgot to take down after Christmas. We enjoyed watching the eggs hatch, babies grow, eat, and then fly away one by one. I did not enjoy having to clean up the mess they left behind on our door, though.

We also are enjoying the blooming wisterias planted in our backyard.

The last one to leave the nest did not go far. I think it needs some more practice. I can seriously see this little guy walking around saying, "are you my mother?"
