Spring is Here!

Up on top of our far left pillar on our front porch, a robin is building a nest!  I was so excited when I saw her!  I've always wondered how they build nests, so it's been fun to watch her.  She's also been putting small piles above the other two pillars too.  It's almost like she's organizing the pieces, or saving some for the final product. The kids have been really excited about it too.  Hopefully she keeps using it and doesn't get scared off so that we can see the eggs and babies later.  We might not be able to see the eggs since it's so high up, but we should be able to see the babies.







Gracie pointed out this pretty pink tree behind the swing set.  There have also been gorgeous white trees in bloom everywhere we go.  I don't know if they are Dogwoods or what, but I love them!  I was going to get pictures of some, but none of them are white anymore so I waited too long.  The kids liked them too because they pointed out that they were "The Popcorn Trees" from the Primary Song Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree.  Does that mean they are Apricot trees then?  I'll have to ask my neighbor.  Anyway, I always love the changing seasons!
