The robin continues to visit each morning, waking me up by tapping on the sliding glass door.
On New Year’s Eve, Kevin and I were reminiscing about a robin who was our “alarm clock” when we lived in the cabin. It would tap on the bedroom window each morning until it was greeted. If we were not in there, it would go to other windows of the cabin and try those.
The morning of January 1st, I woke to the sound of persistent tapping… and as I gained consciousness, I wondered if I had actually dreamt the sound. Then the tapping continued! I hopped up to pull back the curtain to find a robin looking at me.
Not sure how common it is to have a robin alarm clock. I know it isn’t unheard of because I know of others who have “made friends” with their robins and other birds. In reflection, robins have shown up in different “chapters of life” over the years. The cabin was one of them. Now perhaps here.
Happy New Year! <3
