A Busy Day Being Busy

Bird Seed at Sunrise

Bird tracks in the snow are such a joy to see. Why do they hop around here and there, stop, look like they're thinking, and then hop around more?

Have you ever been busy doing things that take you away from what you planned to do, and then wonder at the end of the day why you were so busy? That was my afternoon yesterday. It began with needing to out to get coffee and bird seed. 

After a few very cold days sitting, my vehicle needs a warm up. A drive to the thrift store I go. Yay me! I found a dip dish to put bird seed in (a butter crock, ceramic tiles for coasters, and a plastic covered loaf container). On the way home, I remember to stop for the coffee. Leaving there, I remember ah, the bird seed. I brought my haul inside using my plastic sled.

How was your day?

Winter Is Back



The lines in the dusting of snow from last night are created, I believe, by a wing trailing an unbroken line in the snow when a bird lands or flies away.

Imagine what a fun floor it would be painted, stenciled or stamped with bird tracks. 

A home with imagination a person doesn't need explained is human nature indoors. Dream of the room first or create it from something you discover shares your aesthetic wave length, both methods breath from our nesting instincts.
