Mothering...


It is amazing to observe a beautiful finch work so hard to build a nest, carrying feathers, branches and twigs and padding it down with her chest. Of course that is only the beginning of the job. Followed by keeping the little eggs warm and protected from the wind, then feeding the baby birds to make them healthy and strong. And eventually the final the day comes when it’s time to teach them how to fly and let them go. I thought about that on October 4th.
