A TOUCH OF HAPPY

The morning I heard of the bombing in Brussels was accompanied by a heavy weight of sadness.  I listened to the news coverage as long as I could. My office provides a great diversion.  The space holds things that give me comfort: work that I can do with my eyes closed, cookbooks, photographs, art stuff and lots of music.  Intending to start a new blog, I first took a peak at what work waited for me.  The first thing I saw was a new claim involving a death.  Some poor soul was  waiting for its body to be removed from under a large commercial mower that had turned over and landed on top of this worker...in a creek. Fleeing this safe place, I looked outside to see what the spring morning might offer.  It offered this touch of happy....

















Mother Nature was watching to see if I was watching.









Just when she was certain I was watching, she gave me the big happy.  The day seemed better already.  Back to the office!

BAD KITTY SIGHTING - BIRD WATCHING

I recently put some birdfeeders around the porch to keep the seed dry in the snowy/rainy weather we have been having.  Bad kitty has figured this out and has found new sitting places.  The birds perch on the flagpole before swooping down on the porch banister.  I added some birdseed to a planter for the larger birds.  Bad kitty definitely has a bird's eye view.

 



In the picture below, Bad Kitty is actually lying in a hanging flower pot attached to he banister and resting his head next to the sitting pot, all of which have bird seed in them.





Here kitty, kitty.
