Turn UP Your Face, Open Your Eyes—-Monday, February 12, 2024

Often times I need to remind myself:  The world is full of songs,

Dancing

AND JOY!

All I have to do is

Look!

Birds!  They remind us always that each day is trembling with exciting possibilities!

We just have to meet the possibility with Excitement!

From my world to your heart,

Winter! Week 5, Sunday, January 21, 2024

I have a very messy yard…winter is always the worst.

It’s because I love feeding the birds.

knowing that the bugs have a warm place to hang out over the winter; and can emerge come Spring—is a very good thing to me. 🙂

I never cut back the flower stalks…there is so much food there for the birds. PLUS!  The Lacewings, LadyBugs, Parasitic Wasps; and Native Bees winter in the stems of the now-dead flowering plants.

I even have a brush pile for birds to hide from predators and ground-living squirrels and rabbits to shelter in.

I know.

My yard is a mess—but it works for me and all those lovely creatures who share their lives in my yard and on the farm.

Winter— Week Five!  60 Days until March 19th!

Thankfully the days are growing longer!

Sunshine always makes me smile!

Feets—and Wings—-, Wednesday, December 20, 2023

Feets—so cute

Feets and wings 🙂  Gotta love ’em

The world is suspended in flight…just for my blog 🙂

(And yes I know feet is the correct spelling, my son, as a toddler, always said feets.  And I love it!)

Oh! My! Oh…..Sunday, December 10, 2023

I’ve been feeding the birds

Winter is so hard on them.  A few shakes of chicken food are good for helping keep everyone warm.

OH! MY!

SCATTER!!!!

(I’m sorry…I know the hawk is hungry too, but….not while I’m watching.  Please.)

Remember This from GRADE SCHOOL?!??!—Sunday, July 2, 2023


Tweet, Tweet, Little Birdy

Rock’n Robin is also an earworm

Sometimes I mix the two songs up in my head

She flies up high, and she flies down low

He rocks in the treetops all day long

Hop’pn and bopping and singing his song

Living and loving in the sun

Little Birdy Tweet, Tweet, Tweet.

Now you get to have those two songs running around in your head all day long!

Thank you—I like to share!  🙂

Rock’n Robin —Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

Food and the Need for It — Sunday, June 25, 2023

Yes, I know—the Dance of Life is terrible in so many ways

 

Yet, at the same time, I can’t help myself admiring those huge birds of prey

Hawks, so beautiful, As they circle, circle, looking for a meal.

 

No different than anyone of us, ever.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

God(s) Gives Us Beauty— Monday, June, 19, 2023

Sweet little spirits

With wings transparent in the sunlight

Brightening the morning, the day, and the evening with songs and chatter everywhere

Glorious spots of color

Brightening the shadows.

What a huge gift Summer birds are to the eye, the heart, and the soul.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Each Person Experiences the World in Different Ways — Sunday, June 11, 2023

Each Person Experiences the World in Different Ways—

the key is to live in harmony—as much as is humanly possible.

Even though some prefer living in a flock

There are others who gather only in spirit

There are those whom we meet that seem to shimmer with goodness and light

Yet we all are ruled by the same longings—to have a place to call home, family, a purpose

To fill the longings of one’s soul

To feel safe

With the freedom to experience many rich and varied things.

And to know that we

In our own special way

We brighten others’ lives

As they gift us back with treats from their hearts.

The trick to life–well to everything—

It too ‘see’ beyond what you think you are seeing.

To not limit yourself to what you expect to see, but what is really there.

From my heart to your world,

Linda
