Birds

No birds came to my feeders today. That is very odd. I usually get a woodpecker or two on the suet feeder and at least a tufted titmouse or chickadee on the tube feeder. Maybe it’s because I bunched them together so they’d be on the side of the house I can see. Or maybe they were holding up somewhere warm, since it was a sleeting kind of day.

The kids were home, so I was not completely lonely without the birds, but it just seemed strange that not one bird visited the feeder while I was at the computer.

Laughing stranger

Musings,

On the way to pick up my son from wrestling practice I saw two women walking dogs. One of the women was laughing so delightedly I immediately felt envious of her friend and anyone else who knew her. I had an overwhelming desire to have her part of my life.

Then I wondered why I couldn’t be that laughing woman.  I’d be the one that made other people glad to be alive — even strangers in cars picking up their sons from wrestling practice.

Good plan, but I’ll have to work through some issues first. And maybe get a dog.

More on Awakening Move

Things,

The Awakening moved from Haines Point yesterday and the Washington Post covered it. Here’s a video that’s embedded on their website. I think the music is a little too cheerful.
