While repositioning my watering hose the other morning, I
had to smile. Why? Because a woman, walking her dog, paused behind my yard. Then
she clucked her tongue and commented, “Mmm, mmm, mmm, my aren’t you little
fellas a pretty bunch and oh, so active.”
She was referring to the virtual wild songbird sanctuary that came with
my house.
Where I live at the beach shore, there are a few songbirds
here and there. But…for some reason, I have a legion of at least one hundred
most times in my backyard. I love, love, love having this many songbirds call
my backyard their home! There’s nothing better than waking to the sound of
their serenading and also making my way through my day, the birds’ constant
chirping a warm addition to my tropical backyard.
Some might not be as pleased to have this abundance of birds
call their small backyard home. But me, I’ve always been a bird lover. So, for as long as this is my home, I’ll
continue to welcome my feathered friends and smile at how others stop to
appreciate them in my fluttering around my yard.
