In the Soft, Soft Light of Spring — Tuesday, April 9, 2024

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!

All I have to do is

Look!

We just have to meet the possibility with Excitement!

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—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

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.
