05.30.2008

When we came back from our travels, the robin’s nest above our patio was empty. I was disappointed, thinking the nest had failed. Then, a few days ago, I saw mom and baby robin in the yard. Baby is following, begging, and getting fed in turn – a reassuring normalcy. And even better, I saw [...]

I’ve been on the road, at a meeting in Chicago then visiting family in Cleveland, so there hasn’t been much opportunity to watch nature unfold. In one of my brief pauses at home, I watched this group of 5 TVs stop and sun themselves in a nearby field. It was a bit of a comedy [...]

maybe it really is spring, after all

05.04.2008

In addition to the higher grass, I’m seeing critters that remind me of the joys of the season. Momma Robin has settled in on her nest. She’s quiet in this photo, but both parents scold and fuss when I walk by in the yard or open the patio door. Oh, well, it’s not like I [...]
