It's going to be a good day!

Don't know if any of you noticed, but I have been up most of the night working on the last minute details of a joint seminar for work. We have about 120 folks coming tomorrow and I did the programs and the name tags and such. I also got to read new posts from Polly and Pat and a few others who were also awake. Spent some time around the cyber quilting frame giving and taking hugs, but never did get the plate of cookies and heaven knows where my wine glass ended up!



But, this morning, I just stopped doing everything for a few minutes and looked at the sunrise out my quilting room window. I recently risked life and limb to hang a few bird feeders in the pine tree that has now grown taller than our second story. Then, I heard a wonderful little bird song. The feeders had attracted three tiny yellow finches and one beautiful red headed bird - all singing to each other, sharing their seed. Just like it's supposed to be. Like I said, it's going to be a good day! I hope yours is as wonderful!

What a nice way to start the day. We seldom get yellow finches here in Detroit. I don't know if it's because we are farther north or because we live in the middle of a big city. Every once in a while. I'll spot one at the feeders.

We seem to have lots of cardinals, blue jays and mourning doves. We also have a couple of wacky woodpeckers who go whee, whee, whee, drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. They make me smile every time I hear them.

is much too close to the house. I can spy nests filled with babies in the spring time and watch their mamas hunt for food and feed the little birds.

There are lots of beautiful birds in the world but I think my favorite is the sparrow.

Thanks for that nice wake-up, Alice.

Thank you, Alice. As I was reading your post I was trying to ignor the blue jays on my back deck screaming for their morning peanuts. They have become my morning ritual. Thanks for sheading a new light on my day.

Thanks for sharing your good day beginning!

A good afternoon around my backyard birdfeeder is watching the little birds - some gray, some yellow head and some red head, the scrub jays, the lovely dove couple, and Chuck, the brown squirrel all sharing in the seed at the same time! It is a joy to behold!
