Roses are Red
These Birds are Blue
So Happy to Start
This Day with You!
I hope you are having a lovely Valentine’s Day morning. My husband and I got up early this morning to enjoy a cup of coffee together before making a special Valentine’s Day breakfast for our teenage daughters.
As we woke slowly, we noticed some new friends at the feeder. Their unmistakable colors gave them away. I quickly grabbed my camera while my husband enjoyed watching these Easter Bluebirds eating from our feeders and drinking from the backyard pond.
They stayed for several hours. When the kids got up, we all enjoyed watching these symbols of happiness while we ate our special holiday breakfast. Complete with heart-shaped pancakes. We enjoyed their visit immensely. It reminded us of all the fun we had monitoring a Bluebird Trail last summer. A very warm thought on this very cold day.
These are the times when our family is rewarded for keeping our feeders filled and for providing
fresh, unfrozen water during the winter. These items are vital to our overwintering birds and wildlife. Luckily for the Bluebirds, meal worms were on the menu. A staple in their diet.
I like how this guy is eyeing the frog, as if it might jump in and join him for a drink.
This little lady seems to be multi-tasking by bathing and drinking at the same time. Two birds, one stone.
We do not normally see Eastern Bluebirds in our backyard habitat for more than a fly-by, but today they came and spent all morning, delighting us all with their presence.
What a perfect gift of happiness on a day dedicated to love.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my Soulful Friends!
