Blue Birds of Happiness

It's pouring rain here in PA today, but yesterday was quite nice.

Jack and I enjoyed a walk together, then spent a little time relaxing on the porch.

I noticed the bluebirds were busy doing a little house cleaning.

The mulberry tree has given up it's leaves to the frost, and the birds took a break there.

The swallows that took shelter in the bird hotel last Spring are long gone.

The colors of Fall have faded into into gray, except for the orange of a single pumpkin, stuck between Halloween and Thanksgiving.

As it continues to rain, Jack and I will spend the day indoors, looking out.

Hope you find some peace in your day.

Time To Fly

I've been watching the Blue Birds fly back and forth to the bird house to feed their babies for weeks now. Today I looked out the kitchen window and saw one of the babies on the roof of it's home and another peeking out the door.

 Mama bird was nearby coaxing her baby to fly.

 Papa bird stopped by with a snack and some tweets of encouragement.

I watched the little bird fly into the nearby tree where mama bird was waiting.

A while later I went back to the window to see what they were up to, but all was quiet and I could no longer see the sweet little Blue Bird family.

They were gone.
