Well, wouldn’t you know it, the robins have all flown the coop!
I discovered that the nest was empty, and knowing that they would be staying close to the house, I was able to find them easily. One was staying close to the weeds along the edge of my house, using them for shelter as she searched for food. Nearby, the two parents were supervising the two other baby Robins, going from ground to fence.
They chose a poor day for their departure, we had a few storms this evening and I worried about them. Hope they all make it, it’s a rough world out there! And now I’m without my little porch friends, although it’s still early enough, perhaps the nest will be home to one more brood before summer’s end?
Miss Mary,
I would really like to read the Victorian poem with the illustrations about what gem goes with each month or season. If you could tell me where to find that would wonderful.
Many Thanks,
Amita
P.S.
I really miss receiving your newsletter and seeing what’s new every month. Will it ever come back again? I hope so;)
Amita, I’ll look around to see if I have a poem like that.
Sadly, I lack the time needed for the newsletter, but I hope to have a compilation of past issues in printed form published at some point
