Spring Ahead






A Robin sighting always says, "Spring has sprung."  YIPPEE!

Many generations of Robin Red Breasts return to nest in our hemlock trees each year. We've enjoyed watching mature birds hatch babies, busily feed them regurgitated worms and ultimately teach them how to fly. It is a privilege to behold nature at its finest.  

Once they've flown the coop, we watch the fledglings consume every berry and fruit blooming on prolific trees, planted just for them??!! :-) Yes, the Robins are nothing short of inspiring, and we can sure learn from them. 

Worms are for the birds! But delicious, nutritious berries as a source of energizing antioxidants?? YUM!

Light as a breeze, kid-friendly and containing only three ingredients are Strawberry Ice Pops. A healthy, guilt-free snack for all...not necessarily guaranteed to make you fly!
