The most unexpected things (part two)...

Last Saturday, as you may recall, I found a bird's nest in my peg basket. There was no bird in there, just an empty nest. So, I took it out, needing to use the pegs. Yesterday, to my surprise, I discovered that a new nest had been built. It is nestled there, tucked away in a corner, with two tiny but glorious eggs inside. I can see the mother bird coming and going, busily making preparations. I admire her persistence and understand her innate need to create a home. And so, she will have the run of my peg basket for as long as she needs, and I'm off to the hardware store to buy some new pegs.
