Robin in a Cherry Tree


My mother taught me a little song during my early years:

"Robin in a cherry tree,
sing a pretty song to me."

To my surprise this August, I have a very fat momma Robin with a big nest and two little babies in my cherry tree. I've tried to capture this on my camera without scaring the momma away.

This gorgeous cherry tree was given to me by my son and daughter-in-law six years ago. It produces several pints of cherries each year, just enough to make a fresh cherry pie or cobbler (my favorite). There's usually enough left over to go in the freezer to enjoy on a cold, winter day.
