Our new friend
A few days ago, we noticed a robin trying to build a nest on top of a post on our front deck. We had watched a naughty blue jay get involved by knocking it down, but every time that happended the robin would just start over. Caleb and Grandma put a few colored feathers from the craft box on the porch for the robin to take, but she wasn't interested. Only wanted to do it her way, I suppose. We were convinced that she would eventually give up and move on, but to our surprise, there was a well built nest there in the morning! Today we climbed up a ladder to see if there was anything in it. Lo and behold, three little eggs! The boys are having such a great time watching this mama bird. Even Jakey runs to the front window shouting, "Ba! Ba!" every time we talk about it!
