Who says these wonderful birds don’t have personalities. This beauty was showing off for me today, and I was lucky enough to get my cell out for a picture. Since I get to see them now almost every morning, I am getting used to them, and them to me… I put out a product called bird butter that I get from a specialty shop.. I apply it to the bark of trees for the woodpeckers and smaller birds. Today, my attention was called to look over to where I had just applied it.. to see not a woodpecker, but….
They are proving to be delightful critters, they are playful and naughty, curious and as you can see by the top pictures.. they can be hams/showoffs. they were seen eyeing the back of my car where the birdseed is stored (my trunk lid was up)… so far I’ve seen them with their necks outstretched, but they have kept a distance. I’ll be watching them. =^_^=
Be in tune with the feelings of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

Yes I cheated and put one piece on top of the other.. it was a lovely moment in time, I was wandering around enjoying the open skies, most of the leaves had fallen in the area I was walking…. I could see the fallen soldiers (from that huge storm we had in the spring). Made for a very different landscape from what I had known in the past.
We will never again be able to return to what was… we can only move forward. The forestry personnel have been in tidying up … with the leaves down, we can now really see just how many of the older trees fell over with the strong winds. AND when looking closely, we see just how scarred and battle worn they were. Especially their bodies, how over the years/seasons they had endured a zillion strikes/blows.. they also provided shelter and shade, now they are left to simply BE. Some in pieces, and others just left bare to accept the fate that will come their way.
Today being the 21st we will celebrate the most important service of the month, we humbly express our appreciation to God/Universe for all the blessings of the past month. and sincerely ask to be guided and protected in the coming month. We renew our determination to follow and practice the Perfect Liberty teachings/philosophy… PL Precept #21- Live the PL Way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.

Special service tonight at 7 pm .
In silence I find myself transcending the NOW of the moment
To the vibrant energy of the forest trail
I see before me the portrait of the life on each leaf – in the textures of the tree bark
I am in awe at the way the frost paints a delicate lace on the landscape that surrounds me
Each picture perfect moment is etched in my consciousness
THIS is LOVE of the rarest kind – it removes the blindfold from my eyes
I am seeing the world again … not just with my eyes
but from the heart and soul of my BEing.
Every day is a gift from God/Universe
PL Precept # 21 Live in Perfect Liberty
PL Precept # 18 EACH moment is a turning Point.
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

Choices – we all have them, we encounter them every day – some we make without really thinking about them, others we give a lot of thought to. With the change of seasons, comes an opportunity to listen closely to our inner voice, and let the past drop, like the soon to be falling leaves. Once lived, it is time to let go. Learn from what was, appreciate now and move forward. Love is a powerful emotion, live with it wisely,
In life there is Yin/Yang, we cannot have one without the other. (positive/negative)

There were two beavers wandering and floating in the water.. the frost in the air and all over the ground did not bother them.
Have a joyful day by being a little more creative. You will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily activities.

Mindfulness. appreciation. this is the time of year when we see majestic colours everywhere, I am filled with an awe that such beauty exists, especially if I am driving with the sun in just the right position, and my way is filled with a dazzling vista of beauty so fleeting that I know, if I come back along the same highway, or road, the moment will have passed. I feel gratitude in my heart that I was able to experience such beauty.
Today – think – I will radiate positivity!
Service is at 10 a.m. see you then!
Every year I would get such a chuckle out of how Chris and his wife would do their décor up for the fall, I went looking this year and couldn’t find what was done. Chris generously send me the picture for this year. So, dear readers, here it is…. the critters that visit their yard from the woods behind their home, must find it entertaining… they must wonder at the antics of “humans”.. we are after all such a special species.
Spent part of today, sweeping up leaves, and bringing some of my wood finds under cover ( into the garage).. there I hope they will dry out over winter.. they will no longer be exposed to the weather, it can get extreme here when we are into the full throes of a Canadian winter. Since the forecast is for rain off and on over the week-end I also drained the water barrel of the accumulation from the last couple of weeks. Called fall chores … bet you have your own to deal with… =^_^=
Please.. no applause, these tasks got done because.. I was in the mood today to be outside and I felt like it.. the “lazy” me could return at anytime..!!!
Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

PS.. note.. raking/yard work can be satisfying when doing it.. the aftermath if you have arthritis in the hands/wrist/fingers etc. can be devastating
Fall is such a special time of year, we all have different memories about this time of year. For me it is wandering the various back roads in “anywhere” I can get to. I thought this was a happy picture, hope it brings a smile to your day.
Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

Let’s try to make Happiness contagious… smile a lot today…
When you select 7 pictures and only one shows up on your screen… you work with the one that shows up,
It was on the cool side during my early morning walk, I saw the valiant little faces along the side of the path I was on…. they looked so cheerful .. hopeful even. Didn’t matter they were somewhat tired, they were stretching up towards the sun… wanting to catch what warmth was being offered.
I felt a kinship with them. I was happy, the walk was refreshing and the birds that were around kept me company chirping away and singing as they flew about their business. For the first time since early spring I saw lots of crows this morning, they were showing up everywhere. That cheered me too, you know I love my crows and ravens. I realized that after continuous trips down the road I was on, the landmarks were very familiar to me… the fallen trees, the broken limbs, the rotting stumps… all seemed to wave and greet me as I passed. I was even noticing where animals had crossed over to the other side and made paths in the overgrown vegetation. I was tempted to take one of the paths to see where it led… but decided to save it for another day, I still had to get to the other location that I go to each morning. Yes, that moment didn’t escape me either. I have become set in my routine…
Because I am alone on the road, no one is around for miles, I hear myself talking out loud at times. Musing, when I hear a thought spoken out loud, I reflect on it in a different way than if it is just a thought in passing. I met a man with an interest in insects.. I could see him looking carefully at the trees and objects close to where he was standing. He would bend and poke at the ground, move the tall stalks/stems of plants, look under and around the leaves. by the time I reached where he was standing, I was curious enough to ask him if he had lost something. “No, not at all” he replied “I’m looking for insects that might not have made it through the night because of the frost.” I beamed, I had just learned something new. I would never have thought of looking for dead insects.
My walk did produce two more broken tree limbs that I can whittle. big grin. You see, he probably thought I was weird too, he would have seen me walking along whittling a decaying branch as I was coming his way. When I find them, they have been lying on the ground, they are not pretty, often wet and dirty, maybe of interest to a dog, but again, maybe not.. they are not that big and until I take off the rotting outer bark, look rather shabby, Because nights have been cold, they are not only wet but cold. You can feel the cold coming off them sometimes numbing the fingers till they start to warm up,
When I got to Mer Bleue I was late, having spent so much time walking and rambling at P23… there were signs the wild turkeys had been there, the ground was cleaned and you could see their foot prints and pawing. I fed the Blue Jays and put out grain for the nuthatch and chickadees etc. then started to pack up to leave.. Suddenly I had about a dozen wild turkeys running towards me.. looking for their treats.. how did they know .. I had not seen a hint of their presence, had it been the sound of the Jays calling to each other and the chipmunk and squirrels chattering over the peanuts? Whatever it was, they were suddenly very much there.
It is interesting how many people are thrilled to see them up close, I am going to have to look up how to tell a male from a female, I must have been asked a dozen times today, and I haven’t a clue. I had an appointment to get to and had to leave.. but not before I saw a lot of happy faces admiring and taking pictures of the wild turkeys.
In life we never know what the future will bring… if you had told me years ago that I would become a bird fancier I would have thought you nuts, Perhaps even unhinged… yet.. here I am today a certified wild turkey fan. Well, not just the turkeys.. I am especially fond of the ravens and crows. If I am quiet about it, no one will know =^_^=
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful, live life with appreciation and gratitude. Live the PL WAY
Life is ever changing… I love the fall because it is so vibrant … it is nature’s way of celebrating the pending changes… For us here in Canada, October is when the holidays begin.. Thanksgiving.. then the fun Halloween event… moving us into the American Thanksgiving followed by the spirit of December and the Holidays that come during that month.
I had occasion to ponder something I read the other day, another writer posted a quote about how no matter how far we travel, how many holidays we take, we can never escape from ourSELVES If you are unhappy at home or with your life, going on a trip to the south of France, or driving across the Province is not going to change the source of your unhappiness. If being happy depends on someone else’s input/sharing of/ into your life. The unhappiness and the feeling of loneliness/emptiness will still be with you.
Being happy is a state of mind… being content is a blessing. Being thankful and grateful for the wonders of life, and the beauty of self discovery is an ongoing journey. It is not the destination it is the journey…
When you are with someone and you are content/happy, it is not the other person making you happy, it is your happiness and contentment in being with them. Their happiness is yours … that is why it is so important to smile from the heart and extend your love of life to others.
When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do.
