“And he’s absolutely right! Sometimes, I forget to sing. I’m just here and there and this and that and who has time, really? But then there’s that rare moment when I’m alone (usually in the car), and I sing, and I understand how right he is. Singing is heart-deep essential”. Loved this Sydney! 🌿

Thank you! I felt you would relate to this sweet little example in nature, who has singing as an absolute part of his nature, just like you! :) 💕

I am so happy for you and your lilies! Also, I had a similar moment this morning with a wisp of fragrance from my lilac bush, which is having its best bloom ever!

Thank you! How wonderful! We planted two lilac bushes last year, which are just leafing out. There have never been lilacs on this property, and I'm really looking forward to the blossoms!

Beautiful post Sydney. The redness of the Scarlet Tanager is unreal. Another bird I hope to see one day.

I really like that poem at the end about sitting with nature. Excellent.

Thank you, Neil! Yes, they are really stunning. They don't visit every year, so I'm just kinda holding my hopeful breath :)

There's a lot of poetic beauty in this piece - thanks, I enjoyed it very much, and I've never seen a Scarlet Tanager before, so that was also high on the cool list!

Thank you so much, Jack, and I'm glad I got to share this cutie with you! They are infrequent visitors to our homestead, so I just keep a hopeful eye out every year :)
