Signs of Spring

Last Spring Robins built their nest in our yard and I took a few pictures of their beautiful blue eggs.  This year the Robins are back and built another nest in the exact same place.  They sure build a great nest!  I thought I would share a picture that I took of the brand new baby Robins.  As far as I can tell, there are five little ones in there... Five little beaks.  They have no feathers yet, and are huddled all together keeping warm on a chilly day.  Mama must be gathering food as they sleep.

Our Black Walnut trees are just beginning to get their leaves.  The trees along the creek, at the back of our yard, are filling in nicely.  Only a few of our flowers have begun to bloom... Spring is such a time of renewal, and walking around outside is so nice this time of year.  We can hear the birds singing each morning, it's great to have them back.  It's nice to see the flowers blooming.  The flowers in the pictures below came from our yard and they sure smell wonderful!
