Safe Place

I finally made it to the store yesterday to get a big bag of black oil sunflower seeds - evidently the only seed my bird friends care for - within minutes of dumping the feeder and refilling it I had three male cardinals, Miriam (the female), wrens, a hermit thrush, and unidentified warbler, a flock of titmouse, and the chickadees.  When they finished a young squirrel made its way over.  I scared it when it was time for me to go.  

This lesson is officially learned - Black Oil Sunflower Seeds ONLY.

Welcome back friends.

Emerging

It has been a busy couple of days... And there has been a lot of rain.  I didn't manage to get to my sit spot early this morning - I needed the extra sleep today.  When I finally made it my body felt the exhale...

A silent sigh followed by gentle relaxation washed over me as yet another drizzle of rain passed through all while the wren in the southeast sang.  

The highway is roaring with folks going home from the football game and I am sitting here silently sighing.
