Beth & Sherry, Thank you for your kind words. We are safe and things can be repaired or replaced. My photos and family mementos are safe so I feel blessed. It could have been far worse. Firemen were amazing and so professional. Insurance company also extremely helpful and professional. Everyone test your smoke alarms; they save lives. I have two pots of fimbriata in the greenhouse that are waiting for warm weather to be planted out. I also let most seeds fall in the patch so hoping for some new germination. Don't know, with such long freezes this winter, might have killed the seed and original plants. Will be interesting to see if anything survives of these little vines. We had long periods of below freezing conditions. Noticed yesterday pipevines are putting out leaves! Spring has finally arrived in my area. Mary

I doubt you permanently discouraged them.

Sure is an odd spot, but then they are famous for odd spots and flimsy nests! My mother buys hanging Boston Ferns each year for her porch, and there is a Mama Dove that always comes and puts her nest smack in the middle/on top of one of the ferns.
