I was a little late feeding my feathered friends this morning. This little chap was waiting for me.

How do I know? The crazy woodpecker is hammering away on my metal chimney with its beak. When I hear that noise (which must give the poor bird an awful headache), I know spring is just around the corner. It gives me itchy feet, I want to plan a vacation. There will be no vacation for me until after June. I have a wedding to plan for my one and only daughter. Exciting times Instead I look back to last year, and the wonderful seascapes in Mexico. 
Ode to the Cricket

The evening is alive with the sounds of nature.
A competition between insect and bird.
Who will win?
The sun slides slowly down behind the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
A sign for the birds to sleep.
A bat flaps overhead
Hunting for food.
I shiver, I don’t like bats.
The noise of the night changes, as the crickets come to life.
Time to find a partner, time to mate.
Their call overpowers the silence of the night.
It’s a good night to be a cricket.

The sky looks angry, should I hide?
A heart-shaped Lilac smells as good as it looks.
The Angels guard my Marigolds.
And the Humming Birds keep feeding.
