Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living.
— Rachel Carson
In recent weeks I’ve been fortunate to observe this architecturally exquisite home filled with one, then two, then three, then four beautiful blue robin eggs.
Now the eggs have begun to hatch. There were two baby robins last time I visited. And two I hatched eggs. This morning I will head out on my bike to see if a third baby robin has hatched. Maybe even the fourth?
