Last summer a momma bird made her nest in our hanging baskets off the front porch. I thoroughly enjoyed checking on the nest every few days to how the little birds were growing. I was a little sad once the birds were gone.
Much to my delight, we got another nest this year.
It is probably a good thing that birds make their nests in our hanging plants because if they didn't I would forget to water the plants. Okay...I'm lying, even with the nest I still forget to water the plants. I usually go to check on the birds and then forget all about watering the plant. I am NOT a plant person. I've neglected every house plant (and hanging plant for that matter) brought into our home...not on purpose, but I just don't think about watering plants after the kids and dog have been fed.

Now that the birds have left the nest, the ferns have died and we are back to having a bare porch. I guess I'll give it another go next year.
Maybe.
Poor plants.
