wet interlude

I woke to a dreary gray sky, a steady rain, and a forecast of ongoing rain for the day. I have to admit I was not keen to jump out of bed and dress for an outing. So, instead I tackled an admin project I needed to do. By noon I had that done and could look at what to do next. I had been thinking about the birds and how they were doing, I saw that it was still a downpour… but .. decided, rain or not, I should check to see what they were doing, IF they were even still there.

It poured sheets of rain while I made my way out of city towards the green space. I’m happy to report that as I drove closer to my destination, the rain slowed down. By the time I got to the parking area…. it had stopped raining!! Yuuu hooo katchooo. I opened the door, stepped out to the wonderful sound of birds singing and gossiping.. the chatter got even louder as I walked down towards the feeders.. My heart sang.

I saw my female Grosbeak dart up into the trees, when I put the fresh sunflower seeds in her basket she was not long in coming down to enjoy them. She did have a few words to say to me tho’.. I have been neglectful.. Who knew she was going to stick around. I can’t swear to it, but I think she gave me a bit of a talking to. the other birds that made me aware of their presence were my (yes my) wood peckers.. they went to the empty nut feeders and squawked. NO its not my imagination.. the nut feeders they like were all empty except for one and it was almost empty.

Properly chastised I dutifully refilled two of the feeders. I did remove two .. and I did not refill the suet. I do want them to start seeking food from their environment. Besides Suet can go rancid in the warmer weather. I put down sunflower seeds and peanuts.. the birds were happy. I was happy. I really love them.. when they start singing and chirping away I could listen to them for hours. All the time I spent with them, the sky stayed dry. No blue Jays, even with the peanuts..

There were birds everywhere in the trees all around in the woods, it was a full blown chorus. The songs were coming from all directions, from deep in the woods, the area across the road, I was so happy that I made the drive out to visit with them. Happiness is following your heart!

**the haughty look on the female that Kevin took, is really how she can look, but she does have another look.. that is like a smile.. and when she is happy she has the sweetest voice. =^_^=

I think I’m having or on a bird high =^_^=… nite all.. I’ll tweet myself to bird land.. —

Friday 26

a project from the past

Be very careful about doing things you really like. Do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you will lose your balance.
Perfect Liberty 2021.26

Life is full of things to do, people to meet, places to see.. Make time in your life to explore every dimension of your SELF… it is in trying, that we grow and develop. .

a garden primitive I sculpted for the garden years ago.. I think he is still out there somewhere.

Today isn’t just another day, it is Friday, and it is full of possibilities. Have a cuppa, relax and then take off, make today count. Hope you get to smile a lot.. Smile and pass it on.

today, now

“I’ll do it later. No, I’ll do it now” – To make progress do anything while it is still fresh.
Perfect Liberty 2021.25

When fresh snow falls, it lies clean and crisp. As the day progresses, it no longer has the same quality or look, its been walked on, trod on, run across, dropped on…. that initial moment of newness disappears with the passage of time.

No baile das nuvens no ceu

Na lue a clarear, vejo no raio e trovao, na estrela a briilhar

In the warn morning sunm in the newly fallen snow, in the thunder and lightening

and in a sudden rainbow.

verse taken from PL song book Deus Natureza (God and Nature)

silent prayer

With the sunlight shining, bringing hope of a new season

I am being discarded, left defenseless to fend on my own

I did my best to serve as best I could

my trim, my beautiful scrolled design, so loved at one time

is now, no longer enjoyed or even seen

if only this was a dream

I can only hope, someone will rescue me

I’ve done my best – that is all I could or can do

for now I must stand alone – leave my fate up to you

a silent prayer I offer with all my heart

that what ever will be, will be what is best for me

for there are others out there, that are physically alone

but know, that with God we are ONE.

every day is a new beginning, and a journey into tomorrow

whatever our destiny – we know – we did our best.

Thursday doors

Wednesday !!!

You can get all dressed up, do your hair, pretend its going to be a glamour day, but no matter how you cut the cake, if there is work to be done, or matters to be attended to that aren’t fun… You have to set your mind to the task and get it done.

giving a presentation can be fun, interesting and certainly if it is appreciated .. rewarding

Usually there is always a lot of hard work and effort that goes into putting/pulling something off in a seamless fashion, or presenting a “brilliant” feature documentary. For a brief time we can look very professional and maintain a certain air of efficiency and know how. BUT, we all need down time, and we all, each and everyone of us, needs time to regroup, to be still, to reconnect with our inner Selves.

Catching up and sharing time with friends.. that is IMPORTANT too. Here Alo was visiting with Sister Qu who is the resident hokyoshi (assistant minister) at the PL Center in Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com

The teachings of PL, the 21 Precepts and 21 Principles, are what help us navigate through the world we live in today… Stay in touch with what grounds you… what keeps you mentally and physically alert and positive. Life is too important to squander.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror Todo es espejo

PL Precept #11 Always be with God. Confie todo a Dios.

Obrigado PL por me ensinar amar assim Por ver Deus dentro de mim e em qulquer lugar

Thank you PL for teaching me to love, to see God within me, and everywhere around.

From my home to yours – Love now and always

With one thought, “the world” will change. Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.

saying goodbye

saw the woodpecker today at Mer Bleue – got to say goodbye till next time..

With the snow melting, the sunshine working its magic… the days getting longer… the two areas I visited every day from last October till now.. have change. Yesterday I was unable to get my trunk open, so had to forgo putting out the rest of my feed. Today I went back .. I collected more feeders and filled a few for the birds that have remained for the time being. At Dewberry, there are still a couple of Grosbeaks, they chowed down happily on the fresh sunflower seeds I put out… There is a distinct change in the “ambience” of the area.. I was so intimately connected to the place, I can feel the difference. An interesting observation.

Mer Bleue I was interested in finding out, altho’ I could see and feel the difference in the little area I enjoyed all winter, it wasn’t as dramatic a change for me. I spent more time at Dewberry, often sitting in the little glade with them for a quarter of an hour or more.. In the below zero temperatures.. for me that was something “new”.. I can honestly say, I had a wonderful winter sharing with my little “bird families”.

Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is a joy in everything.
Perfect Liberty 2021.23

What I learned about myself this past winter is that I am able to get up and go out every day and feel re-energized. Not a winter person before, I now feel that I can say, I enjoyed being outdoors every day in whatever weather the day presented me with. With the birds I learned that it was an environment I could enjoy, and be comfortable in. Who would have thought, sitting in the snow during a snow storm visiting with birds would be an enjoyable pass -time..

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point . Siempre estamos ante la bifuracion del bien y del mal.

WAITING

How many of us are spending time waiting. In my area, it seems that everyone around in different provinces or States have had their first, even some have had both of their shots. Meanwhile, we wait.

I’ve tried reading, I was as you know going out and feeding the birds, but now with the change in the weather, they are doing just fine.

Time is spent thinking, wondering when there will be a more balanced approach to how we spend our time, even catching up with friends in person, instead of by phone or virtual calls.

Even having the shot will not mean life will just return to “what it was” No, there will still be the need for masks and social distancing. Today there was segment on the radio about how the animals, especially dogs will adapt (not) when their humans return to working outside the home.

Now more than ever, we need to live being aware of the good, positive “things” “happenings” in our lives. The quote I posted yesterday, resonated with me then and even more today.

A thankful heart leads to happiness. When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate things.

Look forward to what’s ahead. There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

Free yourself from being overly attached. Overthinking hinders ideas and actions.

Day of Appreciation 21st.

I will be forever grateful and thankful for this past winter’s experience of having met up and spent time with the birds at Dewberry and Mer Bleue. They got me up and out every day every single day since last fall, no matter the weather. I enjoyed the fresh air with them, shared in the bluster of the winter winds. In return they allowed me into their space and shared meals with me.. For this I can never repay the joy they brought into my life. I have much to be thankful.

Over the course of the many weeks and days, I met several wonderful new “friends”.. my friends of the forest =^_^=… the few photographers who have graciously allowed me to share their works of art with you, my dear readers.

There will be two services today at the church for the Day of Appreciation ceremonies. 10 a.m. and an evening one at 7 p.m. we ask that you reserve seating for the evening service please. We maintain social distancing, it is important that we all stay safe…. As usual if you are unable to be with us physically, please join us in prayer at 10 a.m. and / or in the evening at 7 PM.

Love YOU, you are in my prayers.. Always!
