Robins are so plentiful here in Minnesota from early summer until late fall. I thought I would pull out a couple of other favorite robin pictures — one from last spring and one more late spring/early summer.
You can see from the number of crab apples left on the tree that they have been doing some serious noshing! They are great entertainment, and definitely the cheapest show in town! You don’t even have to leave your house — or in my case, my kitchen table. Well worth planting a tree outside one of your windows, if you have the option. We were lucky and the townhouse association put this tree in for us.

I just had to post a photo of Milo, our rent-a-puppy, with his favorite toy. It must have been a Christmas present from his owners before they went out of town. This is what we see several times thousands of times a day. Milo wants to play “fetch”. Thankfully, he does the fetching. He never tires of it. Never. Ever. Also, in case you couldn’t guess, a picture of me and DH, and a couple of my most favorite bird pictures. I never tire of watching the birds eating the crab apples off our tree just outside our kitchen window.
It’s hard to believe that today is December 24th. We have a few packages under our make-believe Christmas tree (hibiscus plant, naked with no decorations). We will have a nice dinner tonight, but nothing extravagant (pork chops and sweet potatoes, in case you were wondering). DS3 will be home tonight or tomorrow (when we’ll be having corned beef and cabbage), and we will be delighted to spend Christmas with him. We’ll be thinking of DS1 in Virginia, and DS2 and DIL in China with her family.
I’m sending my very best wishes to each and every one of you this Christmas Season — wishes for good health, safe travel, and a blessed Christmas celebration.
