Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

I have been watching in pure delight and awe, a Robin creating her nest from scratch.

She has been diligently flying back and forth with just the right material as she weaves a home to place her precious eggs.  A spot to house, protect and nurture with found treasures.

It has been quite windy lately, and her poor nest was a bit disheveled this morning. Robin was quite comical as she wiggled about getting things back in order.

I hope I have done you justice sweet Robin.

Bigger by the day ...

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird:

it would be a jolly sight harder

for it to learn to fly

while remaining an egg.

We are like eggs at present.

And you cannot go on indefinitely

being just an ordinary, decent egg.

We must be hatched

or go bad.

It wasn't that long ago that we were in awe at 3 beautiful, perfect, blue eggs.

One was especially lovely - it looked like batik ... maybe Mum Robin is an artist :-)

Mum & Dad have been a busy tag team going back and forth feeding their babies who are getting bigger and bigger by the day!

It won't be long until they are flying and enjoying the garden pond like their parents ♥
