1. Little brown sparrows are attracted to the sparkling water of a makeshift birdbath...A terracotta planter basin placed in a heart-shaped iron plant hanger. A large smooth stone sits in the middle of the water for butterflies and bees to perch upon as they drink. The sparrows stand on the rim, dip their little beaks in the water and then tilt their heads back to let the water spill down their throats.
2. Harvesting seeds from my columbine plants, offspring off seeds from my own mother's garden in Georgia. The seeds carry a heavier meaning than in years before. Mama has had to give up living alone which meant giving up her beautiful garden. Each year when the columbine blooms, I think of mama and how sad it must be for her to no longer have her garden and how glad I am to be able to keep a part of her flower garden alive. If you would like to help keep my mama's garden growing, send me a message and I will send a few of her columbine seeds to you.
3. Living in a very small town that has a GIANT fireworks display each summer as a part of their Catholic Mt. Carmel Festival.
