Graced

Every day while I am at work, this sparrow (I think it’s a Song Sparrow) graces me with its lovely song.

Patches

Sometimes it seems our life is like this rough country road. Patches covering the hurts and wounds; rolling, bumpy and uneven; going through empty territory; leading to . . . the unknown.

Yet I like it. The hurts and wounds heal. The journey – through territory familiar as well as uncharted – is energising. There is always something to see, to do, to feel. Something to be grateful for.

Smokin’

I’m spending the afternoon minding the smoker. Skinless bone-in chicken breasts with a rub, potatoes, marinated tofu. Rubbed pork ribs lurk underneath. Yum.

Treat

I gave Achilles and Stella each a nearly empty yogurt tub. Stella goes for the least last bit in hers.

Gentle

A lone, lonely tree gently ushers in a drizzly morning.

Contrast

This barn vividly leaps out from the bright green of field and bush, and the subdued blue-grey of the sky.

Road Closed?

Not to this gaggle of goslings.
