Robins Egg Blue

                       Every spring I look forward to finding where the robin will build her nest in our yard. 

 One year it was on the lampost on our covered front porch. 

 Last year it was in the evergreen bush in front of our house. 

For two years straight it was actually in our canoe

which we store over the clothes line, upside down! 

What a delight to discover the robin, once the snow melts,

 hopping about the yard with bits of sticks and string in her beak. 

This year I was surprised to find the nest by accident. 

  I walked into the shed to get my garden tools.

Here Paul stored our little Christmas tree to dry it out for a bonfire.

      The sound of fluttering wings startled me.  A robin flew out the window and I knew his nest was in there somewhere.
 


Can you see it yet?

Sweet little nest~ Theres nothing quite like this robins egg blue!



3 little eggs!  usually there are 4.  I hope they are protected enough out here!

I look forward to watching the results as Mama and Daddy welcome their babies into the world!  Another gift of nature that God gives to us!


So here is number 4, it arrived today!
