I cannot wait for spring to come. After all that snow, most of which is melted. I think today should finish off the rest. It is suppose to be very nice outside. And not a lick of wind, YEAH! I try to focus on all the positives of our move. One of them is hardly no wind, and a longer growing season. I am so looking forward to planting. I talked to my friend Ruth yesterday, she is crazy for plants, she has all the best places to go. I can hardly wait! Anyone that knows me, knows I love plants and flowers. She says that there is a lady that comes down from Bear Lake that sells Geraniums, big beautiful ones, for $5. Who can beat that. In the fall I can re-plant some tulips for this yard. We live far enough away from the mountians that I think we should be ok with the deer not eating them.
Last year, a mother Robin decided to nest in my wreath on my front porch. Here she is perched, I caught her laying an egg. That is why she is staying in her nest, letting me take the picture. Otherwise, she would have flown away. Her eyes are so wide, she must have been scared out of her wits. But I just had to take the picture.
This is her nest full of eggs---she laid five altogether. Only four hatched. It is amazing to see what she did with her young. After they hatch they are little scrawny things, but then they get fat and fluffy really quick. It was hard to imagine them all fitting in the nest. But one by one she would take them from the nest. You at first saw them on the ground, almost as if they had fallen out. I guess birds need to get their land legs before they get their wings.
This baby robin was in the tree in our back yard. I had to stand on a chair to get the picture. Cute isn't he.I really am looking forward to spring---flowers, dirt, grass, eating outside, seeing all the neighbors come out.
