Learning to Fly

I watched a bird flutter around the yard. You know how Snoopy's friend Woodstock flies in loop-de-loops? Well, that is what this crazy bird was doing. It just couldn't seem to figure out how to fly upwards onto the bird feeder. After watching it for about 10 minutes I finally realized it was just a baby cardinal. It had weird red feathers poking out of the top of its head. So comical I started laughing.  I thought about putting some birdseed down for it but then I would have taken away her chance to be proud of herself. I think she learned because a few days later I think I saw her on the bird feeder with the other birds. Sometimes you just have to sit back and let the youngsters figure things out... and laugh as they laugh at us oldsters.

The Window

There's something intriguing about an open window. Am I invited in or is something trying to escape? Is fresh air invited in or stale air swooshed out? Is the view better outside or inside? I could go on but you get the picture. 

Swirls

On my way to work I pass small bodies of water. This one caught my eye. The water was black, the pollen was yellow, and the slightly cool breeze we were enjoying made a beautiful swirl design. I say, any excuse to delay work and enjoy nature is a good thing.

Actually, I like going to work in my "big girl" clothes. Plus I like the people I work with.  Plus I'm only working part-time. I say life is pretty good right now.
