I should be charging rent.

So, one of my hanging baskets has been invaded.... I wish I had the forethought to take some pictures when it was in process... but I was trying to chase away the Robin that was completely relentless in making her home in my hanging basket.

First she dug out the middle of the basket, killing the red-leafed accent plant in the centre.  Next she started bringing in twiggs and things to make her nest.  This process took about a week.  I'd chase her away every chance I got.  Apparently I didn't do such a good job.  We found a fully made nest in it the next time we looked.... then one day there was one egg, the next day there were two, then the next day there were three, then the next day there were four eggs!!!!    I think there were a few of you over when there were only 2 eggs in there... check it out now!!!

Cute huh?

Right in the VERY centre of the basket!

Here's the basket on my deck.

Here is that relentless bird, chirping at me from the old japanese maple tree just meters away.

And giving me the evil eye.  She doesn't like me so much.  But. I'll let her babies stay. I'm nice like that.  She owes me for the plant though.
