Day 42 - Baby Bird Songs


Today I noticed that the baby cardinals must be learning to sing. Either that or they aren't babies anymore, but teenagers and they've learned how to talk back.
TWEET. tweet. TWEET. tweet.
On and on and on.
Think of the monotonous sound a child makes when first learning to play the violin. After awhile even the most encouraging of parents wants to put her fingers in her ears!
I believe the female on his video is the grown up version of what I was hearing.  

What song have you been singing lately? Is this the song you really want to be singing?
Merry ME

How could you not love a cardinal or the beautiful song they sing...I used to sit outside on a summer and fall evening and sing/whistle their songs right back to them, and they would answer me. Sadly I can't whistle anymore but I still love to sit outdoors and listen...there is just something so healing about these birds that bring joy and happiness within.
By the way...I have a letter to you ready to be mailed and hope to have that done tomorrow...it has been sitting here for a day or so, and in the meantime I get one from you, lol.
I love the songs I'm singing these days...and I'll send you that bread recipe...it's very easy!
Loving you is such a delight! :)

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
