I had a revelation yesterday. I spend a lot of time doing everything except watching the birds. There is a new feeder to test, the "killer sunflower seed" experiment needs to be watered, several feeders need to be filled, and isn’t it about time to put out a few more hummingbird feeders? I was half way down the stairs to find the feeders when it hit me. This was like preparing a gourmet meal and never getting to eat. When was the last time I actually watched the birds?
This morning I set aside some time just to enjoy the birds. What a concept. Sit back, relax, and watch the birds. The never ending chore list can wait and the phone will not be answered. For a short, but very rewarding period of time, I’m just looking.
