Everyone agrees that life is beautiful, and we all accept that it is fragile. But do we always remember how interconnected we are? How everything we do touches other people's lives and echoes far away, in other places?
If we do not, perhaps we should!

The weather is shifting here in the Wood River Valley. The birds & squirrels sense the ‘Winter is Coming’ message & they are busy prepping for the big event. I still have some hummingbirds, but the population has decreased significantly.
I will sure miss my tiniest friends. #birds #FeatheredFriday

Sharing another photo from my little garden. This sweet guy - a black-headed grosbeak - will come to my window & tap on the glass. He is so friendly & curious. I'm going to miss him this winter - the weather is definitely shifting here in the Wood River Valley. I hope he comes back in the spring.

Sometimes the best company isn’t human at all. This week I wrote about the birds who share my garden, my mornings, and my quiet hours. Join me in the company of birds. 🐦

My internet has been down for over 48 hours - entering Day #3 - @coxcomm.bsky.social is such a disappointment. No communication. No transparency. Anyone want to weigh-in on #Starlink? Especially my #idaho friends? Starlink and snow?
