We've had birds nesting in the top of our bamboo shade on our patio all summer. When they first started flying around looking for a place, the DPR immediately ran out to chase them away spouting opinions on how they were going to die out there if they built a nest because as soon as we turn on the AC it will be too hot....yada, yada...
They built a nest anyway, regardless of his opinions. Then they did their birdy thing and before you can say "yumpin' yiminy" their were 3 little eggs in the nest. Honestly, I didn't pay that much attention after that....until the end of July. The little birdies were all busy and focused and I pretty much felt the same.

When we got home, I went to hang the lanterns on my patio. I was dreaming of seeing the colored glass in the sunlight. There.... I found the empty nest.
And I realized, it was really....really empty.
(sigh).
