And 'feed' they did.

We all need to stop and notice the little things in life that bring joy to our hearts.
If we don't, we become consumed by the tragedies and sadness of this unsettled world we live in.

I needed a long walk today. The cold rain has kept me from doing so the last two days. It was the only way to rid my head of the tragedy in Paris;  for awhile.
Our temperatures have really dropped since last week and it is well below freezing overnight.
A long walk requires a coat, wooly scarf, gloves and some gumption.
I haven't seen Simon since Thursday. I leave him food and it is eventually eaten but there has been no sight of the little tyke.  Perhaps he is preparing for hibernation. Something I wish we could all do at times.

Special visitors to the mouse house can lift anyone's spirits.

                 "Let's feed the birds, Nan"
And 'feed' they did. :)
                                        Apples & bread for the squirrels



                                             Seed for the chickadees

                                               "I like their black hats, Nan."

Bird lovers
Brad, Mickey & Riley

and when they were done...
it was time for grilled cheese sandwiches, sliced apples and chocolate milk.
And
maybe a jelly bean or two.
;-)


hugs, Deb

  1. Do you not think that it is still the simplest pleasures that really get to our heart. Feeding the birds and enjoying country pursuits, My youngest grand daughter comes and always feeds the birds with grand dad, helps me to prepare lunch and plays at dollies and shops. Simple pleasures and surrounded by love. Love Andie xxx

  4. Kids do have that way of getting one's mind off other things that discourage us.

  8. I think your grands are so blessed to have you share with them your love of squirrels and birds. They will carry that love in their hearts as they grow. Certainly, getting out in nature is a balm to our souls in troubled times.
