Hello! Thanks for visiting. You scared me for a second, that’s why I’m peeking around from the back. I thought you might be here to take down my home. But I see you’re here only to admire my handiwork, or beakwork? With everything you provide here in your garden, the possibility of making this spectacular nest was a no-brainer!

I spent last night with my daughter and two granddaughters. It was a much needed fun time on that particular day. I had let circumstances I cannot control bug me all day. The evening was fun and a satisfying way to soothe my soul. It’s always fun being with my family but sometimes it’s great medicine.❤️
Have a great day everyone! Thanks to Judy over at lifelessons, I got an extra boost listening to some old Beatles music. Here’s one of my favorites:

Will you weave a story
Or try fashioning a poem
It doesn’t need to rhyme
Share a piece of your heart –
That is all it takes
Sharing a smile, a drink or a beer
Everyone seems to have fun here
A nice pleasant gathering place
Always having a friendly face
Where barkeeps masque your hectic pace.
You relax while ordering another round
As the barkeep jokingly, says “bottoms down”!
Of course he thinks he’s very clever
Knowing that phrase is hardly ever
Used, it’s always, “bottoms up”!
So he’ll have to refill your cup
Therefore making him more money
Than you just sitting with your honey.

Thinking all is not lost, she observed the bud emerge from the soaked soil. The larger ones are bending from the heavy drops, but not you, little one. You remain upright, new and strong.
Never worry you will not carry on. Your form may be slightly changed, but it will still be you. Ignore your doubts. You are fresh, new in this world and rain cannot hurt you, only nourish you. Stand up, take it all in, everything this new world has to offer. You deserve it. The universe welcomes you, little one. Nothing lost, but all is gained.
Tic tac toe in shaded respite
Entry door to the secret garden
Fairy garden out of large driftwood piece.
Are you a believer in signs? I am. Some days it’s the only thing that gets me through. I try to be upbeat, positive, you know, the funny one, most of the time.
Take today for instance. A fun family time is coming up this evening. My daughter, three of her daughters and I are all going to have a fun time. We’ve looked forward to it. But then what looms up but some personal news I can’t be upbeat about. And it’s been happening more than usual lately. Maybe you’ve noticed in my writing, probably not.
Back to the signs. . .I was sitting here feeling all down and the sun came in the window, it’s been on and off with clouds all day, but it just shown through extremely brightly. For some reason I looked up and saw this:
I don’t have a good camera, but see what it is? A smiley face! I’ve never seen it appear before and now it’s gone, clouds are back. It was only there a few minutes. I rely on these hopeful signs. Some I’ve experienced are, seeing the sun suddenly illuminate a bright autumn leaf, a bird landing next to me and just staying there, and other nature related happenings. I notice the dance of a leaf across a parking lot when waiting for the bus. I feel privileged to see these things, and appreciate them as a gift. A gift from who or what I have no idea. Sometimes like today, a sign appears and I have to smile and think, it’s okay, I can handle it.
Elaine might say it’s the universe talking to me. What do you think?
It was definitely code rainbow at the botanical gardens visiting the bird cage on the second floor of the main facility. We were thinking it would be a nice venue for a wedding or reception of any kind. The facility was new and not completed yet. These pictures were taken by my granddaughter, definitely displaying rainbow colors.
Spent the afternoon admiring plants, flowers, and birds in the botanical garden enclosure. The bird cage on tbe second floor was fairly small with colorful tiny birds flying around so the pictures are not the best but the nests on the upper part were very cute with little heads peeking out.
