It's Met Monday with Between Naps on the Porch

I’m blue today because there has been quite a change around here this weekend. The robins have left the nest. It seems so quiet. I have pictures of them leaving that I will post on Wednesday. They were so sweet. We have spotted them out with their parents since they left, but, the nest is quite empty.

First we had eggs.

Then babies came and we watched the parents nurture them and saw them grow.

Looks like a lot of work to me!
Now they have left the nest.
