| 4/8/20 male goldfinch at our feeder |
No, I don’t make this stuff up: April 8 was Draw a Bird Day! Begun
in England in 1943, the day originated with a touching story about a young girl and her uncle who was injured in the war that I’ll let you read for yourself.
I heard about this internationally recognized day incidentally
from a Facebook post on that date. Right after I saw the post, I looked out our
kitchen window and saw a male goldfinch at our feeder now wearing his breeding
colors. I had to draw him, right?
Now that we go out so infrequently and only for “essential” matters, we appreciate our garden birds more than ever. Not all is right with the world, but many parts of it are still beautiful.

It is the beautiful parts that help make the other parts tolerable. Love the goldfinch!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan... all we can do is keep looking for the beauty.
