Pondering all kinds of things when I see my cardinals and blue jays glide in, this reminds me of my own thoughts.

Hello Sunshine Smile, yes it is fun to watch. I am now watching a hanging plant. A robin made her nest in it. There are 3 eggs laid. Hugs Darlene

I built one for my wife's garden, she loves the doves, but the cockatoo's knoked it down, I seem only to be a rhyming poet myself, pretty standard poetry, but I enjoyed the feeling in this piece x

Hello Robert, Moore, I am going to try to get back to rhyming. I like free verse. My muse wants to create this type of poetry. I do change to other forms though. In a hanging plant a robin has made a nest, She has 3 eggs laid, I am waiting for the babies to be born. x

Nice write, Darlene. If there are no birds in that birdhouse, I'm sure there will be!

Hello Justin Abdool, I would be very surprised if there were a bird in that birdhouse in the flower garden. Yet it would be nice to see a bird make it a home. Enjoy your day my friend.

I like this Darlene. I don't have a birdhouse, but I ought to get one. The birds come to my feeders, but don't seem to use the bird bath. I hope you see them use it :)

Hello Heidi, yes the birds do use the bird bath when they need to. The birds come to the feeder, that is great. I wonder why they don't come. Hugs .
