Home & Certainty

European Robin [Erithacus rubecula] male

 

 

In the snow, sleet, and big winds of Winter Storm Ciara, this wee robin made an appearance at The Pixies, patiently waiting in the queue for some sunflower hearts.

 

I’ve only ever seen one robin at The Pixies. This could be the same one as I’ve always seen as, after the dreadfully short thirteen month norm, some can live as long as nineteen years. I really hope it is the same one!

 

If you look closely, you may be able to see some tiny snow flakes on this guy’s wee head. I think think this guy is just beautiful.

“The robin is the one

That speechless from her nest

Submits that home and certainty

And sanctity are best.”

Emily Dickinson
