Feathering Your Nest
Feathers make a bird's nest, (or a bird house, for that matter), more comfortable, and therefore more desirable, for its occupants. So when you are "feathering your nest", you are essentially making your home more comfortable to live in. It also implies making one's home fancier or more elegant than similar homes in the same neighborhood.
We are not so unlike our feathered friends as winter turns to spring. While robins and blackbirds are hard at work making their homes cozy and comfortable, we too look for ways to refresh our homes with a new look. What a wondrous time spring is when everything seems to come alive again.
Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
-L.H. Bailey
