Welcome everyone on this beautiful sunny afternoon!  It is a bit warm sitting on the deck today but the breeze makes it quite nice anyway.  It’s amazing how different everything looks now that all the leaves and plants have grown  to fill all that emptiness we had for such a long time.  Looks so much nicer now than it did even a month ago.  It is so nice like this.  But the time is so short.  In 6 weeks the leaves will start to fall from the trees.  Most years it’s like that anyway.

Not much happening outside these days.  All the birds have gone.  Still have Rusty and Sylvester, the 2 chipmunks, plus 2 of the squirrels.  And Sir George of course that I mentioned before, plus one of his friends showed up this morning as well.  But in time things will return to normal I’m sure.  Or not.  One of those things.  My neighbors should be happy anyway.  And the town.  Since none of them wanted me to feed the birds anyway.  Sigh.

But it’s a beautiful day.  The sun is shining.  Lovely breeze.  A great day to just sit outside, relax and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding me.  Listening to the birds constantly singing.  The chestnut-sided warbler, black-throated blue warbler, song sparrow, wren, robin, yellow warbler, and so many more out there singing today.  An amazing chorus, such wonderful melody.  How can anyone be stressed listening to all of this?  Time to get outside everyone.  Are you stressed, worried, anxious, depressed?  Go outside.  Listen.  Look at all the wonder around you.  No matter where you live, you can find wonders to look at.

Like all the garden flowers around me here.  Quite a variety and they are not all blooming yet.  But such beauty abounds all around.  We just need to look for it.  And truly it will help with so many problems we might have.  Time to give it a try and see for yourself.  It definitely is worthwhile!!

That is all for today, I hope you enjoyed our little visit again and I hope you all have a great week and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
