Wake Up Little Branch!

I'm being serenaded today by birds singing in the trees of our seasoned neighborhood, and I'm reminded of a story I heard many years ago.    It was about a scientific study that was being conducted to test the theory -- listen to this -- that the birds singing on the branches ...were what caused the branches to sprout new growth and blossom.   Wow!   Wouldn't that be like The Master Planner.  I never heard whether the theory was true or not, but I sure like the idea of it.                                                                         Wake up little branch!

  3. well, they say if you talk to your plants they will thrive. Why not believe that the birds singing to the trees would cause them to blossom. I like the idea too, whether it is true or not. I love spring time.

  4. I find I grow more fruit when I'm singing praises than when I'm grumbling. My day is complete now -- I've learned something new!

  8. Maybe it is like the concept of talking to your house plants. I've heard they proved that was good for them too. Maybe that is what is wrong with all of mine...not enough talking to them. lol

    Cool post!

    And...as to your last comment on my blog.....who are you related to????? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Actually, you don't have to tell.......

  12. Ahhh, I love that!!! Such a sweet thought!! I, too, wake up to the sweet little birds singing outside my windows...makes the mornings beautiful! Now when I wake up to their songs, I will think of this and how my redbuds and dogwoods are growing all the more thanks to God's little musical creatures!! :D
