Birds Are A Lot Like People

Birds are a lot like people.

Give them a cherry tree and a garden full of sunflowers and they’ll feed themselves all summer.

Yet, if you give these same birds a bowl of seeds every morning, they’ll squawk at your window because the bowl is empty, ignoring the food that requires work.

They’ll get fat on your seeds and poop on your lawn furniture.

There are some birds that you can give food to, like the hummingbirds and they’ll gratefully drink your sugar-water.

However, after a few sips or when the feeder is empty, they will continue to flit around the yard, drinking from the flowers.

They are grateful for the free food, but they are too independent to count on handouts.

Birds are a lot like people.

My Grandson Brought Me Butterflies

When I lived in Florida, I had hundreds of caterpillars and butterflies living in my Passion flowers.

My greatest pleasure in the morning was going out to see them on the porch screen waiting for me.

I know it’s hard to believe, but if you had seen their little faces pressed up to the screen waiting for me, you would believe.

I would whisper softly to them and they would land on me and land in front of me.

They would hold still and pose for pictures and if you know butterflies, you know they don’t hold still.

We moved back to New England almost three years ago and since then, I have been in short supply of butterflies. I’ve maybe seen five and they were tiny white ones.

My grandson Cole came in June to spend the summer with us. He’s been here for about three weeks and I have seen five or six huge yellow and black butterflies flying by my gardens, even doing flybys as I sit on my porch.

Yesterday, one flew right over my shoulder.

When I lived in Florida, I was known as the Butterfly Whisperer because they would land on me and pose for pictures.

Here in New Hampshire I have been the Butterfly Misser, but no more.

The butterfly drought is over.

Thank you, Cole.

You brought me butterflies.

Thank you, Michelle Marie for the art!

Feels like turquoise…

Beautiful post from Michelle Marie

Tell Me About It

Feels like turquoise the
finest earthen clay vessel
I can’t un-know this
Now that I know
I can’t un-love
Now that I love
What do I do next?

Wordless Wednesday

TDCO

I am test driving a quit smoking program of my own design.
The first concept involves hiding my cigarettes.
It works rather well because I wander around for about twenty minutes wondering where I left them.
Then I remember that I hid them, but I don’t remember where I hid them and that takes another half hour or so.
I call this phase of the plan Hide and Freak.
Moving on, the other thing that I am testing involves TDCO.
I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing about new initial named programs, but I promise you this one is unique based on the fact that it is Too Damn Cold Out to go outside and smoke.
I moved home to New England to challenge this theory, but now I’m a Believer.
Sometimes, it’s just Too Damn Cold Out to go outside and smoke.
My husband almost sabotaged that tool, trying to be nice.
He said, “Just smoke in the house,” even though he hates it.
I said, “No, thank you,” but don’t think it doesn’t cross my mind now and then, especially when it’s -14 degrees outside.
Damn. Need some more tricks to get this program off the ground.
Already tried every product on this planet so I know I need a new program.
All ideas welcome, except “just quit smoking.”
I do that every day.

Spring in New Hampshire…

Spirit Eyes

My spirit eyes can see my flowers.

When I look out across my snow covered yard, I see the bulbs.

I see the roots longing to break ground, aching to push the tender,

green sprouts up through the dirt and into the light of day.

They are patiently waiting, hibernating beneath the snow.

They are not gone. They are not dead.

They are just hidden from view… alive and strong just like me.

My spirit eyes can see my flowers.

Pink and Blue…for Michelle Marie

Both of us have been so busy that we don’t get to hang out in the PINK much and I have discovered that when I log on to both somehow my passwords get mixed up so that is why I am posting this PINK here for her!
JM thank you for asking me to share my PINK art and PINK thoughts and for creating a playground so the little girl in me can play in a safe zone! I love you
