Shake a Little Tail Feather

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

~Audrey Hepburn

Hoping you got a chuckle out of this one!

A Visit from a Red-bellied Woodpecker

Feathers of the Sun

May flowers always line your path 
and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you 
every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you 
in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart 
each day your whole life through.

~Irish Blessing~

The yellow feathers remind me of a little spot of Sunshine :)

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

Sunshine on His Feathers

Kind hearts are the gardens, 
Kind thoughts are the roots, 
Kind words are the flowers, 
Kind deeds are the fruits,
 Take care of your garden 
And keep out the weeds, 
Fill it with sunshine 
Kind words and kind deeds

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Listening

  Part of doing something is listening. We are listening. To the sun. To the stars. To the wind.
― Madeleine L'Engle

When it comes to gray catbirds, I hear them LONG before I see them. I have one in my front yard that serenades me almost every day during the summer. 
They have such lovely songs!

Carolina Wrens LOVE the birdfeeder wreath that I have out on my back deck. This little one is stretching out his neck to see what kind of treats he can find. Not only are they beautiful birds, but they have lovely song.  You can listen - HERE  (go to "sounds" and push play)

Joy is not in things; it is in us.

Their songs are so sweet!

I have never heard a depressed bird!

A cloudy day is no match 
for a sunny disposition.

Remember well, and bear in mind, 
a constant friend is hard to find.

One Sunday I had a most amazing experience.

These little guys along with the White Breasted Nuthatches 
were so friendly...  I had them eating from my hand

A wonderful memory I will treasure!
