Savoring Ordinary Time

fall colors

It’s like when it is boring in the emergency room, that’s a good thing, right? Sometimes ordinary or even boring are the place to be. It’s a break from the drama. It just is what it is and nothing more.

Have a walk this morning and feeding the birds is the fun there. Lots of chickadees are around, a few nuthatches and no juncos as of yet. Juncos must be hung up somewhere in British Columbia. And I have lots of sunflower seed this year which was kindly donated so the birds are happy.

The leaves are thick on the ground through the woods. It is kind of fun to kick through them, an autumn wonderland. Deer tracks this way and that left behind as they look for the last of the fallen apples and pears.

The other day Wiley counted 44 ravens fly over him. They are definitely getting more numerous in the neighborhood. Guessing that is from the general landscape getting more wooded. The old farm land is being taken over by trees and the ravens like the forest. The crows populate the shoreline and the open areas and the IGA parking lot. They don’t seem to mix with the ravens. We used to have crows and now we have ravens right here.

And more owls and eagles should be arriving as winter approaches. They are fun to hear and see. Yup, come walk and check it out.

our leaves are falling loves, Felipé.
