Today magic happened.
I was mowing the grass around the pool with a push mower when a
beautiful sparrow landed on the fence to watch me. He was
completely unafraid. He had obviously come to watch the
show. We stared at each other a bit and then I went back to
mowing while he watched. I forgot the sparrow. Later I
sprayed roundup around the fence lining the pool. The same bird
landed on the fence about three feet from me. We stared at each
other a bit and I began to talk to him like one does with a pet
bird. Soon he launched from the fence and flew toward me and
hovered about 10 inches or so from my face for several seconds. I
continued to talk to him the entire time. I seriously thought he
was going to land on my hat. He returned to the fence just a few
feet away and began to sing a beautiful song to me.
I think I met the bluebird of happiness today.

Very cool. What a fun moment.
One of my best nature memories was when Erik was a little boy and was laying in the grass. A butterfly was hovering around him. I guess the butterfly thought he was a new kind of flower. The butterfly landed on his cheek and it was such an incredible moment.
So how's school going?
How neat!! I could use the bluebird of happiness these days, lately I seem to have the magpie of irritation hanging around.
