A Beautiful Surprise

I went outside to water my hanging baskets of ferns yesterday.  When I took them off the hook and put them on the ground to water them, this is what I found:


What a beautiful reminder that new life is springing up everywhere around us!

It was also a wonderful way to teach the kids about caring for God's creatures (and that sometimes that means not touching!!).  Watering around the nest instead of on top of it...gently handling the hanging baskets so not to disturb the nest at all.
So many lessons from such a beautiful surprise!
