The male cardinals have started chasing each other.
Soon we will be down to just a male and a female.
There's only so much room for them at the feeders when they've got babies to feed.
Order
Watching this day wake up and spring into life I was considering how sitting each day brings order to the mental emotional clutter of my heart.
The clearer my heart becomes the more I see the natural order of the universe, the seasons, and life...
the more peaceful I feel.
I like order.
It makes sense to me.
Even within chaos and growth there is a subtle order that is rooted in survival.
Sedum
On a day like this...
Daffodil
The push and pull of seasons keeps me on edge in a good way
which buds will survive the dance between winter and spring
keeping fingers crossed that tender seeds waiting to bust up and out of the earth hold tight just a little longer.
I continually find myself out there looking
checking...
The birds know what's up.
