“Feed the birds in winter; in return, they will feed your soul with the look of gratitude!” ―
Mehmet Murat ildan
Someone close to me has enriched my life more than he can know and more than I can communicate in a garden blog. Yet a bird feeder he has given me is the catalyst for me resuming this long abandoned blog.
Installed outside my dining table window this past week, I have been entertained since by the flitting and joyous morning activity of cardinals, sparrows, juncos, jays, chickadees, finches, and woodpeckers.
This summer I traveled far and saw grand mountains and breathtaking vistas - yet in the magic of winter, it is fulfilling to savor the simpler, magical sights that often are as close as one's own backyard. Watching and listening to this incredible show, while I have a morning cup of coffee, is bringing me joy and a desire to learn more about my feathered friends.
