Nothing's Easy

We have this baby Robin that's fallen out of its nest.

I decided to try and feed it this morning.

With all the rain, I expected to simply turn around and find worms all over the driveway. There were none.

I dug a little in the mulch. There's always worms in the mulch. None.

I went to our compost bins surely I'll find some worms there. Nope.

Last resort I decided to stick my hand into the nasty driveway drain. It's full of smelly creepy-crawlies. Nothing. Now my hand smells.

I'm trying to feed a hungry baby bird! How hard can this be?

Finally I got a shovel and dug a hole in the yard. Finally I found some worms.

I wanted a picture with his mouth wide open for the worm, but only caught the close.
