Bird Notes

This is the third month I've joined the Note Card Party by Vee at
A Haven for Vee.

The rules are simple ~  post 4 pictures from previous posts that you think would make a nice note card. Link up, link back, and then go a-visitin'.


This month I chose birds.  I have birds everywhere throughout my house, not unlike many of you (: 

  When I started blogging I naively thought I was somewhat unique in my love

for all things bird-twiggy-nest-feathery.

 Now I know better (: 

In fact, it may be an unspoken prerequisite

"love blogging, love birds"

and the garden, and tea, and reading

and fur babies

This last one is a picture from one of my

favorite posts God Chix

I've learned a few things about blogging since then,

but one thing that hasn't changed is my real "peeps"

They were here last night until nearly midnight.

Seventeen of us laughing and crying, singing, 

sharing our hearts and praying for each other.

In this day and age, I think that's very noteworthy too.

Counting My Blessings,

For the Birds!

I was an early bird today, and had a hankerin' to blog...so I was inspired to share a few of the birds that nest at my house.  Like so many of you, I'm drawn to bird figurines and art. I'm not sure when it started, but it appears I have a bird collection.

Here's a little carved bird from my April Cornell days...

 a vintage Sugar and Creamer

 and one of my favorites... a McCoy bird

(you might enjoy one of my earlier posts Morning Light)

Vintage salt and pepper shakers;
the bottoms screw off to fill

 A small planter ~ also McCoy?

 Pie birds and a hand-painted plate

A little ceramic cuckoo-cuckoo clock

and a birdhouse

One of our REAL birds:  Bobo the Brat

  (she's so fussy, she hisses at herself in the mirror)

 Handmade birds-on-a-Branch

A birds nest twig-spray my sis made

Birds on planter pots

Birds on Vases

 

Birds on a lamp base

and even a candle snuff

They're everywhere!

Looks like this early bird even got the worm!

Counting My Blessings,  Susy
