A Day In February



  A tiny bird with a red breast just landed on the windowsill of my bedroom. The window is quite sheltered by the roof so the fact that it flew in is a wonder in and of itself. Then it sat there and chirped at me...as if to say..'why are you sitting there under your blankets wearing your thickest sweater?' And then if flew away. Well little bird for some reason we have no heat and hot water today so I am a little cold.
  Is the MOON windy mom? My two year old asked me this a little while ago. We have had such windy weather here that my ten year old has decided that THAT is his one fear. He sleeps in the hall way on windy nights because it scares him so much. We live between two fields and close to a river so the wind whips around sometimes. However other then one night where I lay frozen with fear in my bed  because the wind was screaming!! I love the wind.
  My little bird friend is back looking in my window. He is trying to get in now. I wonder what he sees in here he wants!
  I am going to make some food for the children and then head over to my parents for a shower I guess. I need to warm up. I am cold to my bones and I can't get warm. I can see bits of blue in the sky and birds are coming back from warmer climes. I need to fill up my bird feeders again. They have emptied so quickly each time they were filled this winter! I think we have more than done our part to keep local birds alive this winter and that feels awesome.
  I hope you are having a lovely day wherever you are.
love Tansy

  1. Re the hot shower - I have to lay in a almost all hot water bath when I get cold in my bones. It's such a discomforting feeling to be that cold! I hope you got your shower and had a lovely visit with mom and dad. Xo
