The Little Things

~ robins built a nest in our barn on top of a bicycle tire hanging on the wall...

such beautiful little eggs~
Here is a sweet poem to share on this beautiful Sunday.
The Little Things
by Anne Campbell
It would be a weary world,
God knows,
Without the little things!
The little stem that holds the rose,
The little bird that sings,
The little love that grows and grows,
The little thought that wings!
It would be a dreary world,
God knows,
Without the little things!
The little joys, the little woes
That all our loving brings,
The little prayer at evening's close,
The little hand that clings!
Warm wishes, Tonya

  8. I love how robins nest so low so we can see them- and how exciting to be able to view it so easily! We have one in our cedar tree we keep peeping through the branches at. :)

  11. What beautiful eggs!!! My husband and I went to work in our Church courtyard today... trimming and weeding and moving things... and we found a robin's nest in one of the tall shrubs with tiny little open mouths inside!!!

  14. Beautiful images and really clear. We don't have robins and it was great to see their eggs in the nest. Of course I've always heard of the famous robin egg blue but it was lovely to experience it right there in your shed. Thanks
