Robins Nesting

Good day to you!



I was working on a jigsaw puzzle this morning in my dining room, and was hearing this scritch scratch noise.

scritch, scratch.

scritch, scratch.

I looked out the window, but saw nothing. I opened the door and saw nothing. I opened the glass screen door, and...

There were a pair of robins trying to build a nest on the door handle of our front glass door!

They had just started, so I didn't feel guilty about picking off the strands of grass and wet leaves; letting them flutter to the ground.



scritch, scratch.
uh oh.
I opened the front door, and as my Great Dane is always interested whenever a door opens, he came to stand and look outside through the glass door. I figured this would discourage any more thought of nest building on our door handle.



It has. But oh....I would have enjoyed watching the robins build their nest so!

I would rather have birds than airplanes.”

Here is a nice maze for the kids:

You could also use this as a beading design :0)

Here is a basket of eggs that you can use any color to decorate them:

You will give joy to the world.

Take this tip from nature:

The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang

except those who sang best."

Searching the internet, I came across this wonderful budget decorating idea:

I am sorry, I didn't write down who wrote the blog.

If you know, please tell me so I can give due credit.

She found an abandoned robin's nest on the ground, well after nesting season was over. After picking it up, she placed it on top of some vertical blinds she has in her family room. She said it has been there for several years now!

I also like how she has hung a hummingbird decoration close to it.

available at hollyandivychristmasshop.com for $18.50. She is 9" tall.

How can you say there is no God when you hear the birds

singing these beautiful songs you didn't make?" - Little Richard

On that (bird) note, I will close for today.
