neighborhood news

When I peeked out of the window this morning I noticed that one of the robin chicks had ventured out of the nest and was standing on a branch. I think the babies are getting ready to leave the nest. It's getting pretty tight in there - I'm surprised they can all still fit. The parents continue to supply them with bugs and worms but soon they will be on their own. I'm going to miss them terribly. BUT at least my nest is full with the return of my college daughter (and all her stuff) for the summer.

how do they all fit in there?

My lovely neighbors were busy yesterday cleaning the garage. Mr. L. reminded me that when I moved here 17 years ago from the city I asked, "Why would anyone need to sweep out the garage?" It took me only a few months of a harsh winter and pollen-laden spring to work that one out!
