Sometimes I realize that my website has a blog, but then I tend to forget all about it. I’m not great at blogging, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t have to be. This space can be whatever I want it to be and it can be just for me. It’s absolutely okay if no one else ever reads this. Maybe one day, when I’m no longer on this earth, my kids will read it and I hope it makes them smile.
That being said, I’m going to post more often. The older I get, the more aware I am of how fleeting life is and also how precious it is. Not just the big things, but the little daily things as well.
There is a chill in the air today that we haven’t felt in a while. We were blessed with two 80 degree days, but today is in the 50’s and quite windy. The ducks were enjoying it though.
They seem to be enjoying themselves, despite the stiff breeze and colder temperatures. The geese were nowhere to be seen though. Perhaps they were at another pond.
One of my favorite birds are hawks, especially red hawks. We have quite a few of them in our area. The other day I was sitting at my desk and when I looked out the window, I saw a red hawk land in the tree right behind our back yard. It was really gorgeous.
I watched as the hawk moved up the tree and seemed to make itself comfortable.
To my surprise a second hawk came along and landed on the same branch quite near the first hawk.
What occurred next was somewhat shocking – they started fighting and flew away. I wanted to get a picture of this, but it all happened too fast. It was quite surprising, but also very interesting to watch. Sadly, I haven’t had either one of them visit since.
I really do enjoy my view so much more now that we moved. It’s nice to be able to see something besides the alley and our neighbors fence!
I recently finished the Craft Guild’s spring show and it went really well. I ended up selling 40 journals, which is amazing, but I think I could have sold even more if I hadn’t procrastinated so much over the summer and then had to rush to make things before the show date. That really wasn’t smart.
I also had someone who liked to “help” me with my work, but wasn’t all that helpful.
He is cute sometimes though!
Till next time!
