After going to Maryland I decided to search to find places that teach spinning. I need a special person that is extremely patient. Between my hearing loss and my lack of eye- hand coordination learning new things are always a challenge. Added to it is this panic I always feel when others catch on so fast and I am left in the dust... 
Well...I found this....

This weekend is for beginners and there is an open spot. It is about an hour and half commute. It is a bit costly and after my Maryland trip this month???My
plan is to wait and decide next week. With my
parents being so sick I can't pay this ahead of time (* no refunds)
look closely to see mother on nest
We can't use our front door because of these.There might be more but I don't want to scare the mother robin away as she flies away if anyone goes near the front door.
Look in the top right corner..... bits of straw right?
This is not even a wreath made of natural materials. Incubation takes 12-14 days and another 2 weeks as a fledgling. Blue Jays, snakes and squirrels are common robin egg enemies which we have in abundance. It will be so cool if they finally do hatch and survive.
