Lately our adventures of sitting on the
front porch . . .
Have been entertained by watching
a young couple move into the right-hand
top corner of our trellis above the gate.
Here's the proud Daddy . . . Mr. Robin.
Together they have been working hard
taking turns gathering nesting material.
Here's Mrs. Robin.
We are delighted that they choose our little trellis
to build their home.
We are looking forward to watching as their babies
are born and they teach them to fly
and leave the nest.
Enjoying the simple pleasures of life,
One day at a time.
Keep Smiling!
Connie :)
Yes, the best entertainment! I found a nest deep inside the branches of the blueberry bush last week. I just hope the family doesn't come back for a treat when the berries get ripe. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know I have to hang flashy metallic flags in mine to keep the birds from eating them :) I don't have them up yet. They are on my to do list this week.
DeleteSimple pleasures make my day and visiting your blog today was one of them, beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIt's nice to see them! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes the simplest of things and bring much pleasure.
DeleteWonderful view. Lovely to have front row seats to their nest making.
ReplyDeleteThey are a delight to watch:)
DeleteWhat a treat for you.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite entertaining, just simple little pleasure:)
DeleteI love that you can watch them from your porch. We used to have a family of sparrows that arrived every year and built a nest in the same spot, but they haven't been here for about 5-6 years now. I like to think it was the same couple, returning home year after year. We would watch the babies hatch and then fly. It was wonderful. Wishing you and Steve a wonderful week full of God's blessings and appreciating the little things...like robins. They are the best pleasures of all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
They are great entertainment:)
DeleteHow nice to have a new Robin family move in to your property. And so nice you can watch them with ease from the porch and not disturb them too much.
ReplyDeleteI know, I don't want to even use the gate for fear of scaring them away.
DeleteWhat amazing photos, Connie! Thanks for sharing. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you enjoyed them.
DeleteI used to have robins build their nest right near my front door until the year a cat destroyed their nest. It was such a joy to watch them though. Your robin family chose a lovely location to build their nest
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, a choice little spot of real estate:)
DeleteWe enjoy watching the birds too. I think the most common bird I see around here is the Robin.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you can watch them from your porch!
We seem to have more Robins this year than ever... They certainly are fun to watch.
DeleteThey are so fun to watch! We had one do that a few years ago and I took photos from the nest building to the babys flying. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get pictures of the babies but I don't want to get too close and scare the parents away. I'm not sure all robins will react.
DeleteThe simple pleasures of life are the best ones. I wish your Robins all the best in raising a nice family of baby Robins.
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun watching them and seeing them teach their babies the fly.
DeleteMost time the simple things in life are the best...
ReplyDeleteSo cute!Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteHow fun to have a nest of robins to watch! I don't have a lot of birds in my courtyard but when one visits it brings me great joy! Nancy
ReplyDeleteWatching nature whether it's animals or plants is so enjoyable:)
DeleteHow wonderful you are both finding joy in the simple pleasures of everyday life as you sit there on your porch. I can just imagine the smiles Mr and Mrs Robin are sprinkling to your days♥
ReplyDeleteThey are such busy little birds . . . it's fun watching them take turns going back and forth gathering for their nest.
DeleteThis is delightful.I love watching birds.
ReplyDeleteThey provide some sweet and simple enjoyment :)
DeleteHi Connie- good going there to take the photos of Mr & Mrs Robin- delightful. For some years we had 'Black Birds' nesting about our house and 'Fairy Wrens' use to visit- I was hoping the 'Fairy Wrens' would make home here too. Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteWe have been having fun watching them gather and build their nests. Hopefully your wrens will return.
DeleteConnie, Bird watching is good fun and I love days on the porch. Praying that you and Steve are doing better. Taking one day at a time is the way...it's hard for me to remember this myself. LOL. Blessings to you both, xoxo,love, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to know that we can pray for each other and hold each other up as we go through this chapter in our life's. Loving our sweethearts and being there for them while seeking the Lord's leadership, love and guidess.
DeleteWhat a sweet pair of robins :)
ReplyDeleteWe watched a pair of robins yesterday and the male had brought a female a worm.
Simple summer pleasures :)
~K.
A great example of the ones of love :)
DeleteI love watching the birds in our yard. They are very entertaining!
ReplyDeleteHard workers, too :)
DeleteThey are a joy to watch. We had robins building their nests on our front porch last year. I could sit in the living room and watch them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool . . . Fun too!
DeleteRobins are my favourite bird.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see your photographs.
Blessings to you.
All the best Jan
Thank you so much :)
DeleteLove the robins making a nest in a corner of the trellis above your fence! Great shot of Mrs. Robin collecting nesting material!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, thanks for stopping by . . . Wishing you a happy day sweet friend.
DeleteHi Connie, nice to meet you, thank you so much for stopping over leaving a comment, and following along. It's always a joy to me a new blogging buddy. We had a momma & baby Robin visit every day, it was fun to watch the baby learn and grow to be on it's own. Your home and yard are lovely. I'll be back to read more...
ReplyDeleteWelcome . . . It is always a pleasure to make a new blogging friend.
DeleteHi Connie, Neat photos of the robins! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for popping in to say hi. Wishing you a lovely sunshiny day.
DeleteOh how fun, it is better than tv isn't it, love to see the things they pick to use for their nest and always fun to see little ones grow and leave the nest.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
So much more relaxing than tv :)
DeleteAwe, how sweet...I am glad they are building right where you guys can enjoy them. Beautiful photo's.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed with ringside seats :)
DeleteThey sure did find a spot that was hidden! I was worried that a big wind might blow their nest away! But looks like they took care of that! We had birds making a little nest by our porch a few years ago, and I really enjoyed seeing them from our dining room window (or the porch). Three babies were there for awhile, and then one day, they were just gone. We are having HOT weather this week! Is already 92 today at 11:00 a.m. I'm not quite ready for it yet, but seems like this always happens here. Hope your weather isn't so hot and windy. Lots of wind here too. Thinking of you each and every day. Hugs... Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHi Connie :) Oh the joys of spring and summer - to watch and hear the robins building their nests and having young ones! We had a robin's nest in our lilac tree last spring, so far we haven't seen any yet, but my ears are peeled for that familiar song!!!
