Nest!

An album with three photos of the nest a bird built in my spider plant. I first noticed a few strands of straw when I had to bring it in to protect it from the freeze earlier this spring. The next time I had to bring it in I wasn't sure if there were a few more strands or not. I thought having it vanish and/or the smell of humans would scare the bird away, but I guess not. I noticed it a few days ago while watering the plant. I think they might be robins. They have red bellies. I'll try to take more pictures.

I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee.

I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that.
