But first, I'm sure you want to know about the baby robins ... how much they have grown in the time we've been gone. Well, here they were back on June 19, the day before we left ...
And here they are now, on the morning of June 24 ...
It's not too hard to count beaks or to notice that the number of beaks in this picture doesn't match the one above it. Nature has its mysteries. I don't know the reason why we now have two baby robins instead of three.
"Baby" is used loosely, because mom and dad are constantly on the move, trying to keep their little ones happy--the babies were reaching up with beaks open even when mom or dad wasn't around.
Late this afternoon I was on the other end of the porch, waiting for mealtime. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw dad, on the front lawn. Apparently he had stopped at the store on his way home ...
He was still scanning the shelves for something else. And then he saw what he was after ...
Now he had a full cart ...
And it was time to take the groceries home to his greedy little ones ...
Hope they sleep well tonight. If only to give mom and dad a little rest.
