If you have wandered upon this blog, welcome! Hopefully, you will read something you like and be inclined to come back again and again.

Why 'The Bird's Nest'? Well, for starters, my last name is Lark, so that is a given.

Anyone that comes to my home can look around and see my affinitiy for all things birds. Bird nests, bird eggs, glass birds and my daughters' fav, the noisy bird clock!!

Can you believe that when I recently moved they actually tried to leave the beloved clock?! Thanks to my dear old bro Jim, he had my back and loaded it up for me. We birds of a feather...well, you know the rest.

And of course, the fact that I moved away from home to begin life over at college. I have flown the nest to start over. The old metaphor 'empty nest' doesn't really apply here. My oldest and youngest are both in college but I'm the one that left the nest!

I am spreading my wings and flying high into the unknown and loving every minute of it.

I will try and detail my findings and foibles on a regular basis. Classes begin this Wednesday and I am sure my time will be at a premium with all the reading and studying and writing I will be doing.

So jump aboard. Take this wild ride with me. I know I couldn't have gotten here without all the love and support from all my great family and friends.
