Isn't it magical, how the little things come together to fill one up? Thank you for your visit and concern. I hope to be back up and running - back to normal - soon!

Cute sparrow! I’m in love with the little, wild birds. Thanks for stopping on my blog and commentin. Have a great weekend, Wieczora (◔‿◔) | my photoblog
It really is the little things.
-A cat (or two) curled up next to me while I read.
-A good book ... this week a police procedural: Roseanna by Sjowall and Wahloo.
- Stepping into Musashi's Garden (my postage stamp backyard) and smelling orange blossoms. The citrus trees are full of blooms.
- Coming into the house from the garden and smelling like rosemary and basil.
- I'm used to seeing Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal, their blue jay, dove and sparrow friends,
but when I looked out the door yesterday I saw this little guy and his friend.
I grabbed the camera to try to capture this little house finch, but all I got was cute little tail feathers. Perhaps they will be back today.

I have been enjoying the Sjowall and Wahloo Martin Beck series for a while now. Hope you enjoy Roseanna.
And congratulations on your new visitor - a House Finch. Wonderful birds!

It's a wonderful time of year that makes you feel revived! Love your little bird! Such a sweet one!

Simple joys are always best... The aromas you describe...oh to even smell something "green" would be good enough.

yes, I think I would enjoy smelling of basil as well!

Little things end up being the big things. Cats and books and nature--some of the best things! :-)

It is the little things. I'm getting used to my foster puss's morning greeting and demands for petting (happily granted).

what a sweet little bird. I am so looking forward to smelling the garden on me when I come inside. It's not quite warm enough for that here.

Sweet little bird. Some great things to be grateful for. I bet the citrus blooms smell fantastic.
