Newly Laid Eggs

She'd already laid her pretty eggs before I found her nest in the small space above front door where nothing can molest. I was gone from home only a week. My house was not abandoned, when she moved right in without a thought of any rent demanded. My front door is now off limits for all my visitors and me, since we'd be unwilling targets for mama swallow flying free.
