In case you are interested, incubation continues on the front porch of Tall Tales headquarters. The porch has been divided and agreements signed. Chris and I stay away from the nest, the robin avoids the rocking chairs, especially at cocktail time.
The Japanese maple turned on the charm overnight this past weekend. It's just splendid.
A Japanese maple leaf in the right light is just about one of the most beautiful things there is. Amen to a whole lot of beauty right now.
The oak leaf hydrangea is pushing out new leaves like nobody's business. I think the maple and it are competing for some kind of award.
Out back this statue from Angie's garden stands guard over a small bunch of tulips that were planted way back in 2008. I don't know why they have not been eaten by squirrels or how they keep performing when most of the rest that I have planted over the years have stopped. I am grateful.
By the way, we did end up watching Harvey on Easter. Just the kind of viewing needed during Coronavirus times. Sweet, funny, a little madcap, and of course it's got Jimmy Stewart in it. What more needs to be said?
Revisiting older movies is a great way for me to spend some of my free time. Back to remembering the simple things in life.

Yes, indeed, Amen to beauty. Glad agreements have been signed with the robins. I remember the year we took the long route to the garage by agreement with a hummingbird family.

Your robin has found a safe haven on your porch, lucky bird. Our robins are so much smaller than yours. I looked it up: 14-21 grams, no more than a quarter of an ounce, often less.
So much beauty in your post.
