While out taking photos of the birds
I looked down and saw this amazing little rock—a smiley face? Two eyes and a mouth? Alien?
I loved it! Home it came to live with my heart rocks!

Monday was a beautiful day of early spring
So I spent it trying to get bird photos
Although, I saw a Robin
And a Western Meadowlark sang sweetly to me
I wasn’t able to get their photos!
Which is alright by me. These little darlings are just perfect for a photo shoot.
The Red-Winged Blackbirds are continuing to gather — singing sweetly in the trees for a day of rest. After which they leave us for the Back Forty—which works. I can always drive up there to see and hear them.
Spring is a time of sparkling excitement and soft gentle days!
What a joy!

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,
Linda
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,

What are you doing, TLC?
Waiting for Mom or Dad?
You wait, then, I’m going out to the chicken house and look at
BIRDS!
Oh! Mom is here! Hi, Mom! Looking at birds are you?
SHHHHHHHHHH, Mom replied.
Okay.

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—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!)

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.)

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!

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
