They Flew Away Today!!

What a treat to watch a tiny little family evolve and disappear all in one month.  They built a nest stick by stick, lined it with feathers, laid four beautiful bright blue eggs, HATCHED, literally outgrew their nest, bulged out the sides, and flew away!  If we had not made the trip to Iowa when we did, the Robin never would have built in the hanging basket right outside the front door, so it will probably never happen again. Nonetheless, it was a discovery full of joy. Such simple wonders in this beautiful world.
