green now but in the fall turns to-
gorgeous red, back of it all a
hedge of broom or gorse yellow

some nests were one year, some
two years and others built this
spring time, all of them tenderly
cared for down among the bush9
a blue jays home and close To-
the house, built low in a it'll"
pine tree a robins nest. Early
in the spring a pair Of lubin~
had spied this clear little stream

the house and decided this would
be a good place to found a home

crawling out on the Dank and
