Well-Adjusted Robins

This warm and sunny Saturday was perfect for getting outside to prepare the yard for summer. The canopy and fountain are set up, the innocuous wooden wind chime is in place, a lot of weeds were pulled, and one hanging basket has been planted with petunias.

I'm tired.


A robin took a long bath, with repeated dips in the pool. I was pulling weeds beneath the bird bath, getting pretty wet from her afternoon ablutions, but she wasn't bothered by my presence in the least.


A robin at the hardware store made her nest in a display of trellises. The nest is composed of organic matter and the plastic from the garden shop. She was nervous from the attention.
