The sight of robins in the garden is delightful. Just seeing them makes me smile. In DC, robins are native & abundant. Whenever they see me outside, one or two will invariably follow—especially when I’m watering or weeding. As soon as I move to the next spot, the robin will look for worms and grubs in the area I left.  Sometimes I’ll toss them a worm 🙂 Today, this little friend completely charmed me!

 I fill and change the water in this birdbath daily. The English box are flushing out nicely.
 Behind (at top) is the hedge of camellia sasanquas. They bloom white in autumn.
 Blooming are “mount hood” daffodils. White “mount everest” alliums will soon bloom.
   Here is a look at the hornbeam trees leafing out. They will be pruned and shaped in summer. Under the hornbeams are white blooming “vinca minor albas”
