Hi Julie! I love the tone of your writing this morning. Sharing your awe for Nature as well as your children’s, motivates me to be awestruck on my walks with my dog. After I trimmed Izzie’s coat yesterday I placed the potential bird nest lining near the birdbath. Within an hour I saw birds arriving to pick some then fly away.

Your words about not forgetting our bird friends, with David Whyte’s on seeing and being seen as friends, is music to my ears.

Thanks for the example you set for us.

Good morning Gary, How thoughtful of you and clever to leave Izzie's coat for the birds to use. I love this so much. You are a great friend. Thank you for sharing each week and being here with us.

You are the magician. Your gift is placing words together so that an impossible jig saw puzzle is recognizable in the heart. Poetic genius…

Ooooo that's my favorite bird! And dandelions! Spring swells my heart!

I love to curl the dandelions with my kid's at school.

We watched them for close to an hour yesterday! They are so fun to watch and they were so appreciative of the dandelions. (I'm glad I didn't weed any of them) What do you mean by "curl the dandelions" I'm so curious.
