It started on Saturday. A big fat robin kept landing on the railing on my deck. I could see her go back and forth to that spot all day. She seemed to be staring at a small artificial Christmas tree that I had set out there after Christmas. I hadn't put it away because there was always snow blocking my garden shed door.

Sunday morning I went outside to get the Sunday paper. Lo and behold, I saw the beginning of a nest in that little artificial tree! Throughout the day I saw the chubby robin fly back and forth, always with something new in her mouth for the nest.

By Monday morning it was nearly complete but today she is still bringing stuff for her nest. I have NO idea where the muddy looking liner comes from...how do they do that?

Well, guess I'll have to leave that artificial Christmas tree out for awhile.
