| I wonder why I can't get anything done with this fellow outside my window eating berries. |
After I cleaned the kitchen and got Bill up for dinner, I happened to walk by the patio again. The red caught my eye, and I guess I am just addicted to this guy. Bill sat and enjoyed the view for over half an hour while I tried to get some more housework done. We both feel blessed by these daily visits. My friend in Connecticut has four pairs in her backyard. How does she get anything done?

A Lady red—amid the Hill
ReplyDeleteHer annual secret keeps!
A Lady white, within the Field
In placid Lily sleeps!
The tidy Breezes, with their Brooms—
Sweep vale—and hill—and tree!
Prithee, My pretty Housewives!
Who may expected be?
The Neighbors do not yet suspect!
The Woods exchange a smile!
Orchard, and Buttercup, and Bird—
In such a little while!
And yet, how still the Landscape stands!
How nonchalant the Hedge!
As if the "Resurrection"
Were nothing very strange!
Emily Dickinson
A perfect Valentine observation by our favorite poet! Thanks Emily.
ReplyDeleteFrom the friend who saw the four couples:
ReplyDeleteHe's so beautiful. What a gift.
I haven't seen so many since that day. I think it must have been a family reunion.
Always thrilling to see a cardinal. It's hard to believe they live here in the Northeast-they are so exotic.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy Funny Valentine! lol
