I apologize for my lack of posting. The life change from home office to real office has taken some adjusting. Here’s a little something I started on a couple weeks ago.

I put up a birdfeeder last year. Right in front of my living room window. I can see it from most seated areas of the room. Mostly for finches.

A couple Mondays ago, a holiday here in the USA, I added birdseed to it. The following Tuesday, I asked my wife, Mary Elizabeth, “did you see any birds in the birdfeeder today?”

She looked at me with disbelief and ripped into me commented about how I must think she just sits around all day staring at the birdfeeder and, no, she hasn’t had any time to be lounging around staring at birds.

Back from an early morning run, a bird flying away from the feeder caught my attention.

I thought back to our conversation. It bummed me out that my spouse has no time for birds or staring at birdfeeders.

Maybe life is a little like the birdfeeder. We fill them and fill them, but we never enjoy the reason we fill them. We’re simply too busy.

Seen any birds at your birdfeeder lately?
