Day’s end
Blazing orange sphere
Dipping below the skyline –
Day’s grand finale.
Play

Simple pleasures

They’ll know no bounds or measure

That bring the greatest pleasure …”

Cattle on a hill
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
Psalm 50:10-11
If you like bluegrass, you might enjoy this song of joy and gratitude entitled “Cattle on a Thousand Hills” by Michael Milton. I did. 🙂

A ruckus
One day this week while I was standing on the porch watching sleet come down, a flock of robins intermingled with cedar waxwings descended upon the bushes and trees beside our house. They made quite a commotion for the brief time that they were about and then as suddenly as they had appeared, they were gone. I’m hoping that this is a sign that spring isn’t too far away.
“Even when in the midst of disturbance, the stillness of the mind can offer sanctuary.” ~Stephen Richards
