This is the third day of my St. Therese of Lisieux novena, and instead of roses, I’m getting bluebirds.
Everywhere.
It’s amazing.
We live in a fairly quiet community that has a good bit of wildlife. All manner of birds. Deer. Raccoons. An occasional fox. Too many bunnies and chipmunks and squirrels.
And now: bluebirds.
We’ve seen them here and there over the years, but it seemed like they never came up the hill to our backyard. Maybe it was too dense up here — too many trees. But a couple of years ago we starting clearing the back yard and doing some landscaping, and B00M! — the bluebirds came.
It’s kinda neat. We’ve been sitting on the porch enjoying the late afternoon breeze, sharing our space with the hummingbirds and the rest of the Disney characters, and now, delightfully — the little bluebirds of happiness.
Lovely. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I, too, have been inundated with bluebirds this past week. Dozens of them which is so unusual particularly around my garden fountain and bird bath. They are drinking and bathing like hedonists before their long flight south, I guess.
I think so!
That’s fantastic – they are such beautiful birds. And you have a really nice photo there, too. Thank you for the follow – I appreciate it.
