During the time that my mom was with us we aquired a Fuscia from Larry's Dad's Nursery. It is gorgeous - pink and purple. Not too long after having the plant at the front door a Red-breasted Wren family decided to move in.

The male is not there a lot, but the mommy-to-be is there constantly and continously fusses at us whenever we decide to walk outside.

As you can see to the right, we discovered the reason for the fuss - eggies. Sadly, this is not where the fun and games end.

Due to the severe heat here I am constantly watering the plant and of course, this puts 'Mommy Bird' (as Larry calls her) in quite a mood. She is chirping at us and swooping in and out and Larry at one time thought that she was coming in for a dive to attack him.

I just don't know what we are going to do to water that plant once the birdies are hatched. Oh dear.
