The Circle of Life Comes to Our Front Door

A few months ago, I hung a decorative candle from a hook above our side door. Didn't think much of it -- it was more a way to declutter our house, by hanging it outside. But then, we noticed how birds had taken a liking to it. After that, grass and twigs started poking out from the top of it. Turns out the hanging candle was the perfect spot for one bird's nest. Yesterday, I peered inside: And witnessed three baby chicks inside. The circle of life, indeed.

And here's the hanging candle. (I could do without the bird poop that now litters our steps below, but whaddyuh gonna do.)
