Stormy Day

The forecast for today is severe thunderstorms and heavy downpours. Already this morning, I'd guess we've had over two inches of rain. It also most likely means that my mtb ride with the girls won't be happening this evening. Grrrr....

But the worst thing, we have a robin's nest in the tree outside our living room windows. I believe there are three babies in it. Mom's been doing a remarkable job keeping them all safe and dry. She sort of sits on top of them, puffs out her feathers and acts as an umbrella for them. Unfortunately, the rain is starting to cause the nest to disintegrate. And we're watching this whole thing, freaking out and trying to figure out what to do. We've even called the Audobon Society to see if they have any helpful info. May just have to climb out the upstairs window and figure out how to secure one of my old shells in the tree to protect them a bit.
