Daily Photo ~ 4-20-11

Spring is Here and the Beachhead is Use Again ~ Oh, Happy Day!

I sat out in my open air,  “old lady" treehouse today and read a book on my iPad for what seemed like hours. It was my first time this year. I could hear the water running over the rocks playing its little tune of springtime, the redbuds were blooming around me, and the little birds were flying all over the place.  It was so wonderful, I didn’t want to come in. When I did, I had a special treat awaiting me. “Hector” - the name we have given to all of our hummingbirds - had found his way home to the kitchen window after a winter far, far away. All I can say is, “Oh, happy day!"

    I want a happy day like that too. Here is little to cold to laying down and read. I love your little beck, to listening that would be so calming. Enjoy your summery life:)

    Oh what an amazing way to spend a few hours... it must be lovely sitting reading with the sound of the water so close by... how wonderful to have hummingbirds... our swallows have just returned and I always find myself watching for the first ones to arrive back in the Spring...

    It hasn't been warm enough to read outside here yet. I'd LOVE to sit and read beside babbling water. :)

    It's an idyllic place to stop and read a book! What a wonderful setting. i like your vivid description of what was going on around you as you did this too.
    Nice outcome at the end with the arrival of a hummingbird. Nice post.

    Hiya Genie,

    Did you sit on the landing stage?
    With your Ipod and Ipad and other digital mountain paraphernalia :-)?
