I was reading a story and found this passage. Could you tell me what “feathering our Crooked Lane nest” means in this context?
“Right away we put our house up for sale and in less than a week someone made us an offer. I took it as a sign from Heaven and mentally started feathering our Crooked Lane nest.”
She and her husband are moving to a nice condo in Crooked Lane.
