A Robin Takes Liberties With My Wreath And More

I don't know what was going on Saturday morning but I saw two VERY unusual sights. 

I had woken up early and was outside, enjoying the beautiful morning with the birds chirping all around me, when suddenly over the rooftops of Oneonta, a beautiful rainbow-colored hot air balloon appeared. Do you believe in good omens?  I do now.

At the time, it seemed like a good sign since it's such a rare thing to behold and I figured that meant I was going to have a good day. Guess what?  I had a great day!  It could be a simple matter of self fulfilling prophesy but who cares?

And then, a bizarre siting: a Robin decided to make a nest on top of a wreath on my front door.  What was it thinking?!  I guess there's a reason why the phrase "bird brain" refers to an idiot.

Did anyone else see anything unusual over the weekend?  Please share with us on Facebook!
