EGGS!

We indeed have eggs -- or at least the robins nesting in one of our hanging flower baskets do.

And, surprisingly, we've established a bit of detente with the birds. They watch us pretty closely when we're out on the porch doing things, including watering the flowers. We don't water their particular basket unless they're temporarily gone. So far, they haven't been too stressed with us there, and we've kept our distance. That may change when the eggs hatch, so we'll have to see. Hopefully by that time the freezing snaps will be done and I can get the sprinkler system started. That will make watering easier, and they might even enjoy the little in-house shower.
