My niece in Wyoming sent me an email and this was one of the pictures in it. I just couldn't resist putting here! Stellar, isn't it?!

Shhhh.... I think spring is finally here!

How do I know this? Well, MY robin is back! How do I know it is MY robin? Well, for 3 years running this robin sits in my snowball bush (which is right up close and personal with my bedroom window) and flies into the window. Not just once, not just twice, but he does it until I come to the window and move the curtain. I have tried putting window clings on the inside of the window -- doesn't work. I have tried putting bright orange HUGE pumpkin window clings on the OUTSIDE of the entire window -- doesn't work.

The poor thing. I have yet to figure out why he thinks he can sit in the window glass. With huge orange window clings all over it. I have tried everything I can think of to keep him from knocking his brains out year after year, but nothing works. He does eventually stop. But it takes awhile.

Really?

Are they serious? Milk on the shelves from cloned cows? Not me (at least I don't think I did)!
