Hey, Bird . . .


A robin, in less than 24 hours, has built a nest in one of our hanging baskets.

1. No permit. The city will hear of this.

2. Maybe baby robins soon. That's good.

3. Definitely brooding, territorial robins at the front door. That's bad.

4. The nest contains potassium benzoate.

5. That's bad.

6. Can I go home now?

Difficulty: I have to stow/cover these plants tonight due to a freeze warning. I don't know yet how I'm going to do that.

Irony: As we returned to the house from stake conference, we saw the bird sitting in the basket. We wondered what it was doing there, but it disappeared quickly, so we didn't think about it anymore.
