April is a month of birthdays for our family. My brother's birthday is the same day as my husband's mother's birthday. His sister and my mother also have/had birthdays this month, and now our granddaughter does as well. On Earth Day, a nice touch. April seems like the essence of renewal to me. And our weather is alternating between warm sunshine and spring rain, allowing the plants to perk up and blossom and deepen their shades of green. The birds sound happy as well, and hearing them is a blessing. We do no bird feeders, out of habit, maybe, because we had two cats for so many years, but we also had a birdfeeder with seed that got bad, and we worry about poisoning the birds. The feeders would just encourage the squirrels, which are already abundant and totally at home in our yard. And our birdhouses seem to have never been used. We have no idea what plants attract birds, yet something, perhaps our many trees, keep them happy. We have two bird baths in front, but they don't seem to be used either. So grooming takes place elsewhere as well.
I'm about to go to meditation, but I'll keep the bird songs in my ears.
