Remember this nest we found in the hanging basket in our barn? Well, one egg turned into four chicks! We’ve seen the mama and daddy cardinal hovering around the basket alot lately and then today Benjamin heard some churping. Phoebe grabbed my phone and they started taking pictures. Then came in with a request, “They are so cute! Can you put it on the blog?” Of course!
We have a very small red oak (about 6 feet tall) in our back yard and Benjamin and a friend noticed these this afternoon. Robin eggs… and not the candy kind! (edited to add: Carl just informed me that he doesn’t thing they are Robin eggs, they might be Mockingbird eggs he’s not sure. But he knows they aren’t Robin eggs. I say, “Well, they look just like the candy, they’re even the same size!” Then he tells me its not a Red Oak, but a Live Oak tree. To which I say, “Hey, it’s my story and I can tell it like I want to.” I’m obviously not the science person in our family.
