Uninvited Guests

my neighbours lose all fear for me;

for afternoon tea and poetry

Note:a pair of busy parent robins perched upon my book & pen inspiring this verse this 
afternoon

Robins are beautiful birds and I am glad you enjoyed their company, just like I enjoy your great poetry.

The dearest friends are those who drop in without invite ... it is matter of pure trust ... that give you to write for them ... well done.

I love the robins who visit me in the back yard while I do the gardening. I always wait for them to come back in the spring. I know spring has truly arrived with their arrival. God Bless Phyl

Such a delightful poem! On this past Sunday, we took our grandson to a place called "Turtle Bay" (No. Calif.)...it has exhibits of all kinds (we saw Sue,,, a T-Rex dinasour skeleton among other things). One area lets you go into a feeding area for tropical birds...my grandson was delighted to let the birds fly onto his fingers while he fed them with little sticks of peanut butter .Sounds like you do that right at home....perhaps offering tea as well? !! :)

What? Do you live in a cartoon? I am seriously jealous. If you knew how often I try to get close to birds and even squirrels in my backyard, well constantly and here they come right up to you! How unbelievable! I guess they know good company when they see it. Love this Brian. Love, Shar
