I started cleaning and then decided a day in the yard would do me good. I had just about finished stringing my first garden box when my husband got home and came and helped me. We got both the boxes planted, and with the help of my two youngest, we got some trees pruned and a lot of garbage picked up. We also planted two raspberry bushes and two blueberry bushes. I do hope they live. I planted blueberry bushes when we first moved here and they did not survive.
When we were done in the garden I went over to the deck and watered all my flowers, i had just sat down and removed my boots when my husband called out that two baby robins were stranded in our window well. My husband got a latter and climbed down and put them back in the tree, while the mother flew around so upset with us that she couldn't decide if she was brave enough to attack us or just brave enough to fly around our heads screaming at us. I am glad she choose the latter.
By the time I got my camera and came around to the front of the house my husband has already rescued one of them and was getting ready to put it back in the tree.
The other bird, still at the bottom of the window well. Hard to see in the picture but he is in the plastic bag, which also got rescued today.
Pretty deep window wells, my DH needed a latter to get down there. The second one did not want to get caught.
Protesting his rescue. I think he was yelling, "Get them, Mom".
Second one being placed back in his home.
We all came into thoroughly worn out and tired. Always the sign of a well spent day. How showers all around, pizza and tv to end the day.
