A new neighbor

Look who just moved in....

Can you see the robin nestled in the middle?
Two beautiful hanging baskets showed up on my front porch for Mother's Day and about a week later we discovered one basket had a perfect little nest nestled right down in the flowers.
Yesterday a brilliant blue robin egg appeared. Mama robin has been a good neighbor so far; no swooping or squawking. We pretend we can't see her when we walk by (which we have to do to get out the front gate) and she seems to think we can't see her, too. She rarely flies away when we come by.
Only time will tell if more than one little, blue neighbor will show up, if mama robin can continue to put up with us, if we can continue to put up with her, and if the whole story has a happy ending.
We'll keep you posted.

Millie and Weston on the old Massey tractor with daddy. Tractors make garden prep a snap and it's great entertainment for kids, too. Get one. I highly recommend it.



Weston LOVES going outside. "The door's open Westy. Be free!"
