When I wake each day one of my favorite things to do is go outside with my coffee and sit for a bit. I have bird feeders all along the tree line of my property and each day the variety of birds that visit me is amazing. Birds of every color and hue, melodic sounds as they sing to each other, and the beauty of the day always inspires me. I've been feeding them for so long now that many who are regular guests to the feeders tolerate my presence quite well. I am probably a bit of an oddity to them as I sit with a steaming cup of coffee, glasses somewhat askew and my outfit...well, out in the country early in the morning, let's just say, there's no need to dress up.
The picture is of a Cedar Waxwing that I took last year. He was most annoyed that I'd disrupted his breakfast and looked at me like, "Lady, are you still here?"

Thank you, Be, you would have chuckled today to see the conversation I had with a Chickadee. A most pleasant little fellow who got quite close to chat. Valerie |
I always love hearing of your magical life dear Valerie, this chap is awesome, thank you so very much for sharing such enchanted mornings, it's so lovely to imagine you in those precious moments. I too, as you know, am a passionate bird feeder/watcher - I find the whole privilege such a calming experience and return to the task all through the day to try to keep the balance with all I have to do on the computer ;) Although it isn't often warm or dry enough to sit outside, I'm still a devotee through the glass kitchen door! {I love your beautiful, imaginative leaf work too my friend, what a wonderful way to honour the elemental life you lead, trees rock! Still giggling at the thought of you dancing your way through the raindrops on Fairy Day}
