Yesterday was a rare warm and sunny day and I spent part of my day allowing nature to cure my cold. The sun felt wonderful! And because the trees in our yard are evergreen, as soon as it warms up, it feels and looks like spring.
Winslow kept me company on the back porch as we watched the wildlife around us.
Aside from playful squirrels and different kinds of birds (cardinals, titmice, chickadees, sparrows, doves, and wrens), we were visited by this woodpecker
and a pretty little finch. You can click on the photos to see them bigger in case you can't spot my little birds.
Thanks for all your well wishes! I'm feeling much better already and will be back to my normal chipper and commenting self in no time!
I'm a great believer in the healing power of nature: the warm rays of sun, the freshness of the air,the lovely birds - all are very helpful

Lovely photos! Being in the outdoors and breathing in fresh air does have great recuperative powers. Your boy sat very nicely, I see - didn't go chasing any birdies? That photo of him is just way too cute. Have a great day, Silke! : ) Theresa
ReplyDeleteHi Silke, gosh you're so right about the healing powers of nature. You're pictures are wonderful to! I love your birds that visited you! I wish that I was well enough to go and spend some time watching the wildlife here in my yard. But, I still have some snow on the ground and it's just a lil bit to cold outside still. But as soon as I can I'm so much looking forward to it! That is after a major spring cleaning up. I had been in the hospital so long that last fall I couldn't do all the things I should have now everything is there waiting for me to do it now.
ReplyDeleteWinslow is just the cutest, sweetest furry one! His eyes are gorgeous! Aren't they the very best of friends! No matter what we do, they do, what we like, they like. It's great!
I'm so happy that you're feeling better! I hope that your day is a beautiful one!
Hugs...

Glad you're feeling better! Over here, it is way too cold to sit outdoors - we hit minus 11° last night - brrrr!
ReplyDeleteDearest Silke, so glad that you're feeling better...there's no doubt that a bit of sunshine works wonders for the psyche. Winslow has the most beautiful eyes, but then I'm sure you knew that already! Alice has just toddled off for her afternoon nap....
