The birds are busy building their nests. There is an excitement in the air that nesting time is here. The air is full of bird songs. Come sit in the garden and have a cup of tea while we watch the birds and enjoy this beautiful spring day.
There are bluebirds, cardinals, mockingbirds, sparrows, woodpeckers, and sometimes bluejays. The robins are gone now but were enjoyed for a while.
The bridal wreath is blooming as are the azaleas in so many colors. The hydrangeas are budding out too.
The new growth on the trees and shrubs are the most beautiful shade of green. As I am sitting here enjoying the gentle breeze and the occasional humming of a busy bumble bee I just remembered I saw the first hummingbird of the season today.
Spring is a time of renewal, rejuvation, and rebirth. You can learn so much about life in a garden.
Spring is a time to marvel at life and the splendor of creation that points us to the faithfulness and majesty of our creator.
Birds are mating and building their nests. Their nests are carefully and skillfully crafted. Each species have specific types of nests and building habits.
We'll have a light lunch later but for now we have nothing to do but relax, enjoy our tea, listen to the chirping of the birds and watch the occasional butterfly flying by.
There is a fragrance in the spring garden. Soon the confederate jasmine will delight us with its ethereal scent. How many birds can you identify and can you recognize their songs?
I've enjoyed listening to the birds and watching them go about their day. It was a sweet time to reflect on the beauty around me and learn from the birds about hard work, perseverance and loyalty.
