For the Third Year, the Swallows Have Returned

So, for the third year in a row, the swallows have returned to the nest on my front porch.  Actually, I first noticed them on 4/16/18, for the first time this year.  I am so thrilled.  I am hopeful that they will successfully raise a brood of young, or perhaps, more than one.

I have patio furniture on the front porch, below where the swallows nest.  As in years past, I have upended the furniture, so the feral cats in my neighborhood do not have a good purchase to jump up to the nest.  

I am concerned that one side of the nest looks weak, but I cannot help the swallows reinforce their nest. 

I like having swallows on my front porch.
