While I am looking out the window the inspiration comes to me: a female blackbird and her husband are building a nest. They’re looking for branches and moss. Now the goal is to make one of those cute little blackbirds. Dad will make sure that mom has enough to eat and stays healthy. This time of year mommy’s boss. In winter dad determines the rules, but now feeding mom and keeping her healthy is top priority. My job in this project is very important too: I have to make sure the backyard stays cat-free for a while.
