After I hang a wreath, I go into the house to put away the fishing line, scissors, and anything else I might have used to hang it. Maybe I will come out and look at it again...maybe take a picture. There will hang the tell tale debris from the center of the wreath. The house finches have started dragging all their precious nest building materials to my porch. I have tried to take the debris away, but they are such persistant birds, that they continue on. I really can't blame them. The wreath hangs on a sheltered porch, out of the elements. It is sturdy and makes for a safe place to raise their young. We are a quiet couple...with no little kids. They allow us to sit there and visit...if we are quiet. 
So, this is why I don't hang a more expensive wreath. This one is a grapevine wreath embellished with curly Spanish moss, spaghnum moss, and pieces of my clematis vines...then I added some silk pansies. The pansies will be replaced with summery flowers later on....if the wreath survives. The weather is so cold...I haven't seen many birds with nesting material in their beaks. I hope April brings warmer weather, so my little friends will come and find a new home on my porch. Balisha
