After trying for the last few days to capture a picture of the bird actually sitting in the nest I finally succeeded tonight.  Rather fitting for Earth Day if I do say so! We bought this pot on Sunday and by Monday morning there was the nest.  I thought the bird was picking at the flowers.  Not 100% what I think of this situation, but it could be fun to watch the eggs and babies hatch! 

From this angle this downtown building looks like a sail.

Got this cool picture tonight.  The bees are enjoying this beautiful tree.  It is nice to have some color in the yard, besides dandelions.  Have no idea what kind of tree this is, but we have one in the front and back yards.  This bee is actually in mid-air! 

This robin let me get fairly close to it this morning. I don’t think it’s the one who is nesting in our new flowerpot though…

Did a lot of landscaping in the front yard today. Had to remove all the rocks/pebbles that had previously been the decoration of choice, trim up the bushy type flower plants, add new edging, plant some flowers and bulbs, place big rocks that were previously around a tree, trim back said tree, dig out nasty weed trees, and some other little stuff!! The joys of being a homeowner, now hopefully it will all work!
