Saturday, 20 January 2007 - Evidence of birds

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for evidence of birds.

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.

~Izaak Walton

During the past few weeks, I haven't seen any birds except for an occasional magpie or crow in the park. I miss them. I'm sure they're struggling to survive the cold winter.

So, when I went to get the mail, I was glad to see several bird tracks in the snow near the garage door and by the mailbox. Hopefully, as the neighborhood thaws, the birds will return to our yard and treat us to a winter concert or two.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
