I have been so patient waiting for this moment where I could capture a close up of Mrs. Robin and her young. As the gardening season continues, the robins in my yard have become more and more friendly. Could it be my charming personality that they like so well? Actually why they love my yard […]
I am getting a workout today! I have part of my vegetable plants in the garden. As I said in the last blog I have to garden Marilyn’s Way. I spent 45 minutes out there. Here is what I got done. The above is what I got done in 45 minutes. Times will vary with […]
