Always, always I have
A camera with me.
Ready to record something—
Extraordinary!
Well, extraordinary to me, at any rate.
From my world to your heart,

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!

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! 🙂

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.

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
