roasted cherries

Okay...my oh so talented friend Jodi mentioned on facebook that she roasted cherries.  Seriously...I thought?  Well off an email was sent to her requesting the particulars as I am a huge fan of cherries.  The following week she posts on her oh so fabulous blog, and I mean,  OH SO FABULOUS BLOG, photos along with the details about how to roast the cherries

I gave it a shot yesterday and may I just say....A-MAZE-ING!
 
 



So this morning, they seemed as if they would be the perfect topping for my greek yogurt and were they ever.  Although I have to admit, they are mighty tasting just on their own.



If you are a foodie, I encourage you to follow Jodi's blog.  You will see what I mean when you check out all that she does around food and her garden.  And then there is her photography...like I mentioned at the beginning of the post...MY OH SO TALENTED FRIEND JODI...she is that and more...much, much more!  She inspires me.

flew the coop

 All good things must come to an end.

 

The excitement is over and I am left with an empty nest and...what else but...bird droppings (I shall spare you a photo of that).

This has been such a fun experience witnessing this so close up. I am going to miss checking in on them. 

A side note:  I read on the internet that Robin's feed their babies around 100 times a day. Who knew...and...it makes sense based on what I saw. No wonder the babies grow so darn fast.

Perspective of his venture out of the nest.

  

To think he went from this...


...to this in around two weeks...pretty wild.

stepping out...of the nest that is

I guess it finally got too crowded for this little guy.

 

No more bending over to feed their crew.

 

A parent on the bamboo on my front porch only feet away from the nest. I swear s/he is looking right at me chirping away like crazy. Again, when this happens, off the chair I go so they can get back to feeding their little ones.

baby robins...not so little any more

Look how big they have grown in a little over a week...so amazing to witness first hand.  Check out the coloring and pattern on their little chests...well on their way to the robin red.


Don't they look like they are ready to bust out of the nest?

 

 This guy is ready to go.
