Do you know what this is?
...the beginnings of?
yep, there she is rearranging
rubbing her body around and around
forming a little muddy cup
..sigh..with Reagan's last year's Easter grass that she scatterd all over my yard
do you remember?
Golly look at what last April looked like last year!
...not a single leaf is out now
I guess I need to stop scolding myself for not doing a great job
of cleaning up last Fall
and I need to halt spring clean up
by the landscapers in this area
.....critters and birds first
The weatherman says it is going to reach 70 today
hmm
I'll believe it when I feel it
But Mrs. Robin may stifle my gardening joys today
I don't want to scare her away...
what with a bird's eye view from my study window
...and if you know Me
You know that I LOVE robins
Handsome looked so pitiful yesterday
I locked Boo up in the basement and tried to catch Handsome
to bring him inside
Guess the guys not that weak
he ran
and cried
So I left him alone
He came back this morning...to find a new warm snugly tiger blanket
in his igloo and a warm bowl of chicken waiting
I know that everyday is an adventure
never to be offered again
so I will be outside today
I'll let you know what is showing through the earth
...my spirit is hungry
for garden

Love the ducks and oh my, love that Robin found Reagan's wisks to the wind. What a beautiful nest, Mrs. Robin! But is she building close to the ground? oh oh.

I understand the longing for sunshine and flowers. It's the way we are. You, even more so because of the long winter.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the Robin and her nest. What a joy to watch them... and the babies to come.
oh oh...and now the flooding?
