I was surprised by a little black gray bird yesterday flitting around my terrace where I was stealing a few moments to relax in the sunshine that finally broke through midafternoon. Sunshine on my skin always feels like the universe reminding me of its goodness. And that was true. But unusually the little bird was keeping me company, flitting in and out. As they’re supposed to be messengers of the angels I spoke to it. Asking about my husband mainly.
But this morning there was more. A dove and a fledgling sat on a railing for the longest time probably trying to figure out what was happening out back where I’m emptying the pool. Not a pretty sight! But long overdue.
But meanwhile out front of the house that bird was back and this time led us to her nest of little chicks right in a small planter on a table. Multiple blessings and good vibes! So sweet to see life carrying on.
There are workmen here today doing some much needed repairs but we were careful to keep the babies at a distance. I’m watching carefully for the mom. I pray she will be back. I’ll have to let you know.
