In the garden with Robi & Lilacs

We have the quirkiest little Robin in our garden.

Not only is she unbelievably tame, but she is also completely obsessed with my husband ;-) 

She follows him everywhere.  Flies through the spray of the hose as he waters the garden beds, isn't thrilled about other birds being around as she does her quick walk, marching all around the garden, goes about looking for worms as he bbq's  and recently, as he's been building some new window boxes, stands beside him as he goes about woodworking. We call her Robi. 

Plants are wonderful & bring us joy, but it's all the wildlife that feel safe and secure in our garden that reflects our heart and soul. Starting my day sipping tea and hearing the birds, watching them arrive at the feeders, splashing about in the birdbaths, spotting birds I haven't seen in the garden before and need to look up in my bird books, bunnies nibbling (unsprayed) grass ...all in a tiny, city plot, what an inspiration!

The lilac really put on a beautiful show this year and their blooms seem to have lasted longer. 

Savoring every bit of blooms and scent from our 34 year old tree!
