The Returning


Tuesday's full moon brought a special gift, the return of the Canada Geese to northern fields. Skeins and skeins of the majestic birds flew over the little blue house all night long, several hundred of them passing overhead before dawn. Huddled under an heirloom quilt and deep in my dreams, I heard jubilant honking and the rhythmic beating of great wings and knew that my favorite birds had come home. Hallelujah, the geese have returned.............

That must have been a wonderful thing to listen to!

I have recently been blessed by a woodpecker that has been working on a tree outside my bedroom window. In the evening I can hear his thrum-thrum-thrum.
