For the Birds

 

I still feed the birds.  Recently, the feeding station Larry built for me was destroyed by a little storm we had, just high winds.  I could not even express the event because it filled me with such sadness.  Yesterday, I burned the pile of limbs and under it the feeding station.  When we choose to live, we can't spend our days in remorse.  I know this, but it will take a while for me to rejoice as fully as before.  

I noticed the day the station was blown away, all these Redbirds came.  Sometimes there were too many to count.  I think he was checking on me.  How silly I am.  I had one of those stick in the ground hangers and my sweet Astrid bought me a second one at Tractor Supply.    I will still be able to feed the birds and enjoy them coming and going, but for awhile the view holds some sadness for me.  I see the Snow Geese on Galla Lake each morning when Phinnie and I walk.  I just have a cheap camera, but I will tell you are are beautiful!
