For the birds...


















Hi everyone! WOW! Almost a week and I haven't posted! Tino is enjoying his time home, we have pretty much stayed as close to home as possible. This week I'm afraid is coming WAY too fast! Before I know it he will be on that *@%$%&@ plane again!

One of our favorite things to do is to watch birds, Tino knows EVERYTHING about birds hence the "Rooster" name. He can spot a Red tailed hawk before I even can find the tree it's sitting in! We have the pleasure of living in a bird sanctuary we call our property. We almost 4 acres of land with alot of the area covered in wild roses, a FAVORITE safe haven for our feathered friends. We have our bird watching book and binoculars right on the sill of our big bay type window in our kitchen so as we sit there we can watch the activity that happens out at the feeders.

We have had several Cardinal families that live on our property, recently we had a major snow storm. As we were watching the feeders, what a delight to see that RED of reds blazing against the white snow. Something just so relaxing and peaceful about watching birds.

If you haven't done it, try it you may find it very calming, freeing and even spiritual.
