And scarlet breast-knot gay.”

SUBJECT:  Robin

Another gray day, with rain late last night and in the very early hours of the morning.  It was a cool day – kind of reminded me more of a fall day than springtime.  Rumor has it that we are supposed to have clouds and sun tomorrow…we can only hope.  As I was leaving to go to the grocery store this afternoon, I saw this guy sitting on our fence.  Looking at his nice orange-red chest helps to chase away the gloom of the day.
