I had one of those sleepless nights.. a night where you know you are tired, but sleep just won’t come. It is elusive and simply not wanting to participate in your desire to sleep. I had a wonderful stroll through Num’s pictures again.. These cuties are adorable.
Have a great, productive and HAPPY Friday everyone.. stay safe..
Till soon.
PL Precept # 8 Live as the sun Viva radiante como el sol.
It’s Okay! God is watching over you. Things turn out for the best. Don’t be captured by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.
Today while out and about, I heard that it was St. Pat’s day, wearing of the green… I wondered how I’d missed that, I did know it was the 17th. and it was March… that is what this last year has been like.. I thought I’ll just find some green and take a picture.. well I was out of luck.. mid March in this part of the country, no green.
There was nary a leaf on the trees, nor was there anything on the ground but snow and ice. It was a beautiful day, not too cold, bright, sunny, but no green.
Since today is supposed to be a day of sharing and celebrating, I did want to share some green with you, I’d like all your day/;night(s) to be sparkling and bright. However should you decide to celebrate,… be safe.. and share good times with true love in your heart.
I’ll send it right back to you ! and Triple the wish !!
Make today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

I’ve had a personal encounter with each of the above birds. They have a way of looking at you that is very interesting, they can be looking straight ahead, at least their head is facing forward, but I swear that they are looking right at me. I’ve had many an early morning conversation with one woodpecker or another. I realized today, that I will miss them when I am not spending as much time in the woods. It was an interesting observation. I’ve come to know so many different birds over the last year.. … there is something special about how the woodpecker relates… it doesn’t take flight like other birds do…. when an intruder comes along. Most will take off to a higher place where they can watch and scoop out the situation… The woodpecker, will often just simply move around the tree away from immediate view, and take in the stranger(s) without too much of a fuss. The ones that came regularly when I was around, almost ignored my presence.. they were not concerned by my activities. In fact, there is one at Mer Bleue that makes me wait when I want to refill the feeder till he/she is ready to move. Mais oui, but yes, I wait… he/she was there first! =^_^=
It is mid week everyone…

Preceptos de PL . #1 Vida es Arte PL Precept #1 Life is Art.
When someone we love – travels into the Universe – on wings of air so light, only his/her memory remains
I recently learned that a special friend, was dealt a blow that sent him reeling. His life was turned upside down with the news that his son (42 years old) was no longer of this world. I can only imagine that moment of reality that he, his wife and family had to live, was not only crushing but life changing.
Myself I learned of this news only the other day, I happened on him as he wandered on the street by his home, lost, fighting for control of his feelings. With each word that fell from his lips, I felt the raw pain, saw the fight within himself for control. I was walking one of my dogs, she became very quiet, attentive and with me, she quietly gave all her attention to his words, feelings and outpouring.
It is important in this lifetime of ours to never take for granted that everything will still be the same tomorrow. Life as we know it is fragile.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
There are no words to express the sadness I feel when I think of my friend and his family, and no words that I can or could offer that would ease the pain of their loss.
What I can do .. is ask each and everyone of you who can, and would, to say a prayer for all in the world who are dealing with such pain and loss… Grief has to be lived… and each and every one of us, has had to deal with sorrow at some time in our lives. Prayer is a powerful tool. let us take a few minutes in our day, to say a prayer for all the families in this world who at this time are dealing with a situation that is difficult and hard to bare.. but live with it they must, till time helps ease the pain.
Today in the little bird garden, I asked each bird to carry a prayer into the skies.. that would carry love and healing energy to all who need it.
The temperature has dropped. Last week we hit record highs, this deep drop in the temperature has made the house feel cold Brrrr. With the change in the weather, we’re seeing new birds in the area… What I have noticed is that last week when the weather was balmy, there were birds signing in the front and backyard. Since yesterday when the temperature began to dip, no singing. This morning all is silent too. Wonder what it will be like when I get out to Dewberry and Mer Bleue.
took this back in 2016, I have better cameras now.. but won’t find this location nor will the birds be sitting there! =^_^=
Perceiving equals doing – Each time you notice something, it is a gift from God. Don’t miss this opportunity to act.

Have a great start to the day. Here it is clear and bright… …. no matter the weather, make the world around you shine!

It is interesting as I look back at pictures I took years ago, (going through old files) I can see the difference in my method of taking a picture and the differences between the various cameras I had. One thing is consistent, they all bring back a “memory” of another time and place.
when there is a will, there is a waythe more I learn – the less I knowWhat I see today, in that one moment, will disappear as soon as I move away
-p.s. – I think of myself as being without discrimination – however today, when sea gulls joined the crows at the table, I actually wanted to shoo them away. – the lessons I am learning are very “thought provoking” (btw I did not act.. but I did take note of my reaction.)
can you see the darling owl? Isn’t this just the cutest picture..
Every day brings new beginnings… today was no exception. It was my pleasure to meet a wandering photographer, who came over to say hello. When he showed me this precious picture, I was thrilled when he offered to share some of his creativity with us. Thank you Ed.. (Ed Hodgins)
Tomorrow (Sunday 14th) service will be at 10 a.m. * remember tonight we move the clocks ahead one hour*
Have a “let’s do it” attitude. Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by God and accomplish it.
Yesterday we had visitors at the feeders. I first caught sight of the red wing blackbird in the morning ..at Dewberry, they were shy, cautious.. staying well off while I refilled the feeders. I was happy to see that the female Grosbeaks that have been there .. were still there, they were patiently waiting .. since I had missed the previous day, they were keen for the sunflower seeds to put out. they didn’t waste anytime getting to the “tables”. It wasn’t long before the happy melodies of contentment was the filling the area.
They were in greater number at Mer Bleue, Kevin who was at the feeders later in the day, saw them too. Don’t know how long they will stay, the milder weather of the past week, brought them to the area. They like marshland which the bog will give them the environment they enjoy, but today the temperatures have dropped. It is around the freezing mark, and it will drop further before the day is out.
We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.
