The robin flew off for a bit this morning, so I grabbed the stepladder
and shot a photo of what's inside the nest.

New Neighbor

We've got a new neighbor. It's pretty cool to actually watch from
inside our house as this family of robins build their nest, knowing
that soon we'll have baby robins to peer at without disturbing their
environment.

Garden: Complete

This is our completed garden. It's 8'x6' and each side swings open so
we can enter from any side. Hopefully it will also keep the bunnies
out of my jalapenos.

Now we just need to find some fill-dirt.

House in Infrared

Our houe in BW with an Infrared(72) filter. I like the effect the
infrared gives.

Project: Garden (day 1)

Project: Garden (day 1), originally uploaded by egandalf.

Today I started building our raised garden. Lee Ann took the photos (I
wouldn't or couldn't leave the recliner). It's 8'x6' and will be
fenced with hinged sides to keep the plethora of bunnies out of my
jalapenos.

The posts stand 3' above the ground and are concreted in. I don't
think she knew what she was asking for when she showed me what she
wanted (the magazine listed the entire project as $60). I say, if it's
worth doing, it's worth overkill. The damage for ours is about $250 -
all pressure-treated lumber - and it may just outlast our house.

Tomorrow I finish the thing.
