We have chickadees year round as well as the titmouse. The Goldfinches simply change color as winter and spring come. Oddly the cowbird is one of my favorite to listen to. They have a feeding voice that sounds like a "plunk" as if a drop of water in a well. Birds seem to wake before the dawn and give God a morning voice of worship all their own. Then as they feed they have a clucking voice that lets other birds know there is food available. With the grey days of winter gone the backyard scene is now filled with color and bird music.

Birds and flowers here in NC are also giving me a kick-start as well. Azaleas and Dogwoods are in full bloom, and the birds make music to the sweet smells of the new vegetation. Wonderful. I noticed in your post, Dean, that you too seem to have come alive. Its like a song in your heart, and deep breathing in the fresh Spring fragrances, which are evident in your words. With all you went through this past month, the last few days really seem to have been therapy for you. It was on the March 19 post, your pic of the bridge over the Mackinac Straits which looked like a trip to the deep freeze with all the snow and fog. And just prior, your brother in law passing away. Even though those of us who walk with Christ, and are sold out to Him and are absolutely convinced of our eternal well being, these things tend to smother our lives and if not careful, we'll stay smothered. Thank God for the Spring, and the reality of an eternal Spring and the life that goes with it. These tokens He gives us here in this life, in this part of His creation help lift our spirits and we can joyfully step lightly and enjoy the beauty and wonder of our Father's world.
