Today I had a feeling of being in a time warp - we just finished with Easter, and out the window the white has accumulated for two days. Everything now is completely covered, and I actually had a December-like feeling, as if we have missed summer altogether and it's time for Christmas again. I don't mind snow but March's mildness didn't prepare us for this.
Anyway, my brother came home from running errands and said so many robins were in the road looking for food, he had to slow the car down. We have a bird feeder, but they don't eat seeds. I quick cut up some apple and we threw it outside in places where they might find it.
We think they did.
What a beautiful photo! There is something so poignant about seeing a robin in the snow. You are kind-hearted and thoughtful, Lisa. I would not have thought of putting out chopped apples for them. I've had that same sense of being in a time warp (Emmeline was humming a Christmas song today).
ReplyDeleteStrange weather, isn't it? I don't know if I like this time of year. In the mornings, 20 and 30's, and sweaters, and by afternoon 70 and short sleeves. The winter wardrobe hasn't been put away yet.
ReplyDeleteThe birds are busy at my feeders. I wonder if the robins would like the "mealy worm" hen treats I give my hens?! Beautiful photo!
Enjoy your day ♥
Oh, for 70, Anne! Yesterday it didn't reach 40.
DeleteYour robins look different to the ones we have in the UK. How lovely to put out apples for them. Our robins are more likely to be fighting with each other at this time of year, as they protect their territory. Always pleased to see them nesting in the garden.
ReplyDeleteYes, our robins are larger and longer than your cute rounded ones. I imagine the early English who came here saw a red-breasted bird and called it a robin. But they're totally different. I don't like to hear that they fight - they're too cute!
