Who knew! yesterday I heard a Cackling Goose, hmmm looked to me like the Canada Goose, but no… I eventually had time to look it up, Sorry I had to take a screen shot during a video to get this shot to share with you. It was migrating !!! and I got to hear it. Now I’m wondering if that is the bird I’m seeing with the Sand Crane some mornings.

Again I’m remined one should not take it for granted when we see a bird at a distance that it is not be dismissed as just another XYZ. I’m relatively new to the world of birds.. it is an adventure in learning.

I have been watching the growth of a red trillium… such a little beauty, I didn’t get to see one last year.. and this year it is my first find.

can’t wait to see how she is doing today!!!

Day of Peace

May 1, 2024

May 1st. in PL we celebrate the 1st of each month with a Day of Peace ceremony. We pray for World Peace and renew our dedication to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. Today was also my Mother’s birthday, I will do a special prayer in her memory, and include all my family and friends who have shared part of my journey with me. Love in one’s life is what brings contentment.

Always remember that world peace is everything. If each and every one of us prays for World Peace, we can make it a reality. Let’s keep this in mind as we live each day. PL2015.1

I am blessed to have kind thoughtful people in my life, I appreciate each and every one. Life’s journey would be bleak and bare if we can’t share. Thank YOU all for being part of the world I live in.

Begin today with a smile, spring is bringing new growth, new hope, the buds will open, a new season has begun. We are all ONE under the moon/sun.

It is OK to think…”This is where it starts” There is always a turning point. It’s important what you do from now. (PL 2021.27)

When the tall tree fell early in the month, I cleared around the fallen soldier” and took pictures of the areas that still showed how beautiful it had been in .. the various stages of life it was still holding on to. Parts of the tree that only the birds that used it saw … with it on the ground I was able to walk along side its length and capture some of its beauty. weather worn and lived in and on, it was a work of art.

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

fyi., with the arrival of spring, I have been able to clear a small area, when if you can’t get around the trail anymore, but want to visit with the wee ones, there is a small clearing for you to open a small folding chair and enjoy a quiet time not far from the parking lot. (be aware that in a few weeks the mosquitos will be out!)

Hanging with the red wing blackbird the other day was a bird the same size, coloring EXCEPT instead of red on the wing it was a canary yellow? Anyone?

She was not alone, her mate came closer and kept watch that I would not go closer. I slowly backed away, happy to have shared a domestic moment with the pair.

Have a good day everyone!
