Birdie!

I just had to include this little antedote (did I spell that right?). While getting our place ready to be able to host events, including weddings, we found we needed to do some landscaping. So, a couple of overgrown bushes needed to go. They were completely hiding this neat stone staircase. Marshall looked first to make sure there weren't any birds in their nests then chopped them down. Oops. He did find a nest with 2 baby robins inside. He picked the babies up, with gloved hands, and brought them over to John and I (who were making some wine) and he had a sad look on his face. My man's so sensitive! We thought maybe since no human had actually touched them, and if we could find the nest, that maybe mom would come back and take care of them. Marshall found the nest, took one of our spare birdhouses ( I do have a few), and placed it where the bush had been. Not long after that the mom robin came back and she went inside and fed her babies! Isn't that sweet?
