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!"

  12. 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...
