What Matters

In the end nothing we do or say in this lifetime will matter as much as the way we have loved one another.

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. 
Pursue those.

One Great Thing About Winter

During the winter the birds are so much more visible.  
They can't hide behind the leaves.

  Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 
Aren't those feathers awesome??

  This has to be one of my all time favorite birds. 
(but don't I say that about them all?)
 To find one in my yard is absolute heaven! I'm sure there are MANY great things about Winter - but my favorite thing about winter is that I can see the birds better.

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

This was my first ever sighting of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - January 2009 - Bisset Park, Radford, Virginia 

 They really do have a Yellow Belly :)

Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance.
