There is nothing more invigorating; more motivating than waking up to a beautiful day. Yesterday morning, as I was making my bed, I looked out of our bedroom window, stunned by a gorgeous hawk perched in a shady spot, on the railing of our deck. She looked right at me. We watched each other for a long while, until I raced away to grab my camera and sneak a photograph. I was suddenly aware of the overwhelming sounds of birds in the yard. They were so loud; so distressed. Most noticeable, were the angry squawks of a blue jay. Extraordinarily blue, I guessed it to be a male. He was shouting at the hawk, occasionally, dive bombing at her head in an effort to protect his nearby nest. I took a cup of coffee outside to join the wildlife in their surroundings.
It was sunny and breezy...the most perfect morning. I savored every sip of my coffee; every moment of of my walk through our backyard.
The sunny spots, the shady spots, the many shades of green.
The fragrance of potted herbs, lilac and fresh mulch.
The chatter of the birds, the soft flutter of leaves blowing in the breeze, wood chips crunching beneath my feet.
The glimmer of the pond and the damp breeze that it brings.
Nothing here is fancy...but it IS beautiful...and comfortable...it is home.
