So we have been thinking about replacing two cedar trees in our front flower bed.

Last week I began to notice a Mama Robin making frequent trips to said cedar tree. Her mouth stuffed with sticks and twigs. And sure enough, she was building a sweet little nest in the tree.

The other day I peeked into the tree. There were four beautiful, perfect blue eggs nestled in the nest all snug as a bug. I’ve noticed that the Mama takes breaks. She leaves the nest for brief periods of time, but comes right back and settles in over the eggs. Just like a lid on a cookie jar!

So as you can imagine, the trees are staying. It is amazing how nature can create something so beautiful and simple. What a lovely moment to reflect and appreciate the world around us.
