It really is the little things.
-A cat (or two) curled up next to me while I read.
-A good book ... this week a police procedural: Roseanna by Sjowall and Wahloo.
- Stepping into Musashi's Garden (my postage stamp backyard) and smelling orange blossoms. The citrus trees are full of blooms.
- Coming into the house from the garden and smelling like rosemary and basil.
- I'm used to seeing Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal, their blue jay, dove and sparrow friends,
but when I looked out the door yesterday I saw this little guy and his friend.
I grabbed the camera to try to capture this little house finch, but all I got was cute little tail feathers. Perhaps they will be back today.

I have been enjoying the Sjowall and Wahloo Martin Beck series for a while now. Hope you enjoy Roseanna.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your new visitor - a House Finch. Wonderful birds!
It's a wonderful time of year that makes you feel revived! Love your little bird! Such a sweet one!
ReplyDeleteSimple joys are always best... The aromas you describe...oh to even smell something "green" would be good enough.

ReplyDeleteLittle things end up being the big things. Cats and books and nature--some of the best things! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is the little things. I'm getting used to my foster puss's morning greeting and demands for petting (happily granted).
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little bird. I am so looking forward to smelling the garden on me when I come inside. It's not quite warm enough for that here.
ReplyDeleteSweet little bird. Some great things to be grateful for. I bet the citrus blooms smell fantastic.
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish they knew the command....freeze! ;)
