222/365 Feeling Blessed
(sorry, feeling wordy tonight)
I am just pausing today to give thanks for so many blessing in my life. Yeah it was a busy day at work , but it flew by and I got to help people - pretty great!
Coming home and having to make supper ~ well I could complain about that but hey there was food in the fridge - good food. I am thankful about that.
It only took the two of us 20 minutes to throw together a gourmet meal to eat on the deck. I am thankful about that.
There were many years where supper meant feeding 6 of us on a tight budget and it wasn't BBQ pork chops. It likely involved pasta or hamburger. And it was in a tiny little kitchen. How did we do it? :)
I am thankful that I can eat in peace, on the deck, listening to the birds. I didn't get up once.....okay once to go get my camera. :)
I am thankful that the two of us can be done supper dishes in under 10 minutes with tomorrows lunches made.
And I am thankful for all those years full of crazy times, busy meals, hungry children and a messy kitchen. I wouldn't change a day of it.
I also completely understand why the good Lord had me go through all that crazy busyness in my 20's and 30's.
Feeling blessed.

217/365 House Finch
A scraggly House Finch who looks like I feel after a day at work. I probably look like this too. :)
But what do I know about birds? Not much!
The closest I can find in my new Bird's of Canada is the House Finch - the male breeding House Finch that is. Technically he should not be found this far north.
He was much more interesting then all the Chickadees and Chipping Sparrows in my back yard this evening.

216/365 My Princesses
Sure enjoyed my 10 days with these two little ones but it wasn't long enough and it needs to be more often.

215/365 Black-capped Chickadee
Filled the bird feeders today along with a couple of hours of weeding, tree trimming and general yard maintenance.
I am amazed at how fast they return when there are fresh seeds for them.
