Indeed, the timing of the advent
of the cedars seemed providential
this year. A sunny, mild day
here at home, and I look outside and see
some shadows in the berry bush —
it always takes me by surprise, but there
they were.
Accompanying the waxwings was a symphony
of other birds — chickadees, robins,
sparrows, juncos, doves, and some
which I rarely see like a downy woodpecker,
and a flicker. It seems they all chose
my neighborhood
that morning.

Grateful

Yeah, Beautiful City

really just captivated me.
