Blooms

Apparently my garden karma isn't totally hopeless after all. There was a nice surprise waiting for me in the yard yesterday: the forget-me-nots are starting to bloom.

Not only that, but a new generation of robins is using the old nest. Mama's been sitting on it for weeks—much longer, it seemed, than last time around. I was starting to wonder if the eggs were OK (projecting my own issues onto wildlife, no doubt) ... and then yes, I saw and heard two chicks for the first time tonight. :)
