What’s Up? – Warm a Bit… | H.J. Ruiz

We may have entered a better weather pattern for a change, I don’t really know for how long…I don’t care, I’ll take whatever comes.

Birds are taking longer to come back to this area, compared to previous years.I can’t wait to see more birds and shoot more pictures of them, I miss the busy bustling in the backyard. My son Tyler went on a School Field Trip to the Etowah Indian Mounds in Georgia and he bought me the most beautiful pen. It’s a wooden pen,hand carved (See picture below). I was very delighted by this.

I feel sorry for the birds that are returning here. We are still covered in snow! And what a beautiful pen! Hand carved?

  If they return and they find snow it would be bad for those birds to get food.
  Yes, the pen is hand carved wood. Thank you. 🙂

Although the pen picture is wonderful, I liked the song sparrow best.

I do love that dove nestled in the branches. I heard a dove cooing last night, and it was wonderful — a real sound of spring. I have to say, your son knows how to please you. That’s a thoughtful gift, and a wonderful reminder of your Saturday Reds.
