Saturday

Who knew! yesterday I heard a Cackling Goose, hmmm looked to me like the Canada Goose, but no… I eventually had time to look it up, Sorry I had to take a screen shot during a video to get this shot to share with you. It was migrating !!! and I got to hear it. Now I’m wondering if that is the bird I’m seeing with the Sand Crane some mornings.

Again I’m remined one should not take it for granted when we see a bird at a distance that it is not be dismissed as just another XYZ. I’m relatively new to the world of birds.. it is an adventure in learning.

I have been watching the growth of a red trillium… such a little beauty, I didn’t get to see one last year.. and this year it is my first find.

can’t wait to see how she is doing today!!!

Be very careful about doing things you really like. do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance. (PL 2021.26)

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

fyi., with the arrival of spring, I have been able to clear a small area, when if you can’t get around the trail anymore, but want to visit with the wee ones, there is a small clearing for you to open a small folding chair and enjoy a quiet time not far from the parking lot. (be aware that in a few weeks the mosquitos will be out!)

Hanging with the red wing blackbird the other day was a bird the same size, coloring EXCEPT instead of red on the wing it was a canary yellow? Anyone?

Fresh fallen snow, always gives a picture of “new beginnings” – maybe not the best weather to drive in, but so beautiful visually – I am so blessed to have this vista within a short drive from where I live. When I arrived this morning (when picture was taken) the birds were so happy to see I had not been deterred from visiting. No chipmunks turned up, but the little brown and red squirrels bounced through the wet snow to come greet me. What a sight when breakfast was served, the blue jays were first to arrive with their loud enthusiastic cheers they sent calls out to all their ‘buddies”

New beginnings. The Ottawa church of PL (Perfect Liberty) has begun a new chapter, Please join us this Sunday to meet the new minister Rev Hiroki Matuski and his lovely wife Yoshiko. Hirok Sensi and Yoshiko look forward to meeting you. There will be coffee/tea (light refreshment) after the Gathering Service.

When taking on a task, start fresh without being biased or jumping to conclusions. When your thinking is too rigid you will be unable to deal with ideas in a flexible and constructive way, Always strive to look at thing with a fresh mind.

How many times in your lifetime have you heard someone say… “You can’t see the forest for all the trees”.. when I first heard that expression, I went.. “wow” so true… now after years of going into the forest every morning to start my day.. I “see” the forest in a totally different way.. and yes there are a lot of trees, and there are a lot of things I do not actually “see” because every day/night there is something new happening in the woods.

So… I take in what I do see/feel and enjoy it… learn from it… and move on. This IS life, there are things we will experience with no rhyme or reason.. yet IF they present themselves in our “Present/moment of awareness” it is because there is something there for us. the Universe provides. It is in “living” our lives, that we grow and get to learn about the wonders around us.

Tell yourself “Things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

2024.3

Good morning, thought I’d share my “gym” with you today. I thought it could be a squirrel, but look at his little hands, I now believe him/her to be innocent of thieving. I arrived one morning to find that one of the cylinder feeders was missing from its placement, I was perplexed, I had (I thought) secured it rather well to the tree with rubber coated wire. (this protects the tree bark)… On inspection I saw the green feeder under the bramble in the bush .. see bottom right picture. I could see it but to get to it I had to maneuver the big trunks …The first time it happened, Tanya arrived for her daily hike, … and helped me retrieve it. For her, younger and more agile she went along the side of the big limbs squeezing along between (see picture to the left of the one you just looked at….. She took her time and the feeder was retrieved.

The next day, the feeder was missing again. And again, I saw the animal had tried to drag it under the trunks into the bramble ,. likely to its place of residence. This time there was no one to help… after a bit of waiting, I tackled the situation myself.. YES I was successful, was most pleased with myself, I used one of my walking poles, climbed up and lay over the limbs extending myself forward till I was able to hook the feeder. Took some time and I did get a work out.. but it was a success.

This morning I will return to see if the (I think it could be a raccoon(s)) had another go at the feeder.

Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

Remember .. where there is “will”, there is a way, Be safe on your adventures of today, enjoy and be happy.

Rust

Rust was the colour of the world yesterday, not monotone, just different shades of rust. If I could have put down an abandoned, rusted vintage chevy truck with pumpkins and wood for the fireplace in the back it would have been perfect. The new is creeping in on us… won’t be long!!!

Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.

sugar

Is there anything I can help you with? Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence tht you have something you can do for others.
Perfect Liberty 2023..3

It was a sugar coated world yesterday . Mild, very pleasant. There is a simple joy in standing quietly while the fluffy snow flakes dance merrily through the air. Of course if I stood too long, there were complaints from the peanut gallery that the morning breakfast was being delayed. Interestingly when they see the chair and I sit.. they stop chastising me and go about cleaning up their “plates”… they seem to know, when the human sits and closes her eyes, I’m having a ” time out”.

Enjoy the day everyone, don’t know about where you are, but here, the airwaves are full of the holiday cheer “songs” and “stuff”
