Then I sit above our garden, under the juniper tree. Our garden got a very late start, but it's growing like crazy. Last night, deer trampled in it and the gopher is moving closer and closer. Suddenly, the entire tree above me is full of little tiny birds. They look like regular sparrows, but are about half the size. I have to check my book as I have never seen them before. Peace overtakes me and I begin to nod off to the twitter of the birds.
Life is good!
first a meal, then a nice walk, then relaxing to song. NICE!!
ReplyDeleteWe have some of those little sparrowlike birds, too. Only a little larger than a hummingbird. Please let us know when you find out what they are.
ReplyDeleteSeems the older we get we have to fight to stay strong. That can be accomplished by some form of exercise that works for you. We bought a treadmill in May and I quit the gym as I have a pretty good set-up in my basement now for working out. I chart my progress just like I did at the gym or I will slack off!! Maybe try charting your walks. The climate here is not good for walking in the winter you live in a better climate for year round walks. I find my time flies on the treadmill if I'm reading my Kindle Fire.
ReplyDeleteI like your thrice daily walking plan! And I love the yellow and purple in your header!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, life is definitely good.
ReplyDeleteYou may have inspired me to try taking a short walk after each meal. Ten minutes sounds doable, and a walk always makes me feel so good.
Are your birds little finches? We have a lot of them. They have a subtle color. If not, I hope you'll get a picture of them sometime. Your walks sound wonderful for the soul, as well as the body! :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I will say having a good time. Good food, nice stroll through nature, camera in hand, listening to the birds song. Sure life is good :)
ReplyDeleteLife is good and you are enjoying the same things I am, eat and walk and play with dogs and then down with my kindle... it is way to hot and buggy to sit in my swing, 2 more months before i can do that... 9 months of the year i love sitting and listening and watching...
ReplyDeleteOh Yes!!! Life is very Good.
ReplyDelete-g-
Very few thingd are as soothing as nodding offin nature to the twitter of birds. Yup , that is a good life :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to nap.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Life is good that makes me happy for you Inger it sounds good. HUGS B
ReplyDeleteYou know I am diabetic so he said walking 15 minutes after eating is good - I am going to try that. Glad life is good for you girl. sandie
ReplyDeleteCould they be bushtits? Hubs, the birder suggested that.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen old decrepit trucks placed in fences, to patch a break. I guess that's recycling, but I'd rather see that metal recycled instead of turning into rust dust.
Aaahhh such serenity in your world Inger!!
ReplyDeletePeace dear Inger
ReplyDeleteLife is good and glad you are walking around!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, my friend....walking is great medicine!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. After your post about walking I thought I would try that also and back slid before my first walk.
ReplyDeletePromise--- tomorrow.
Love this shot of your relaxed knees and hat!!! Its about time you to get to rest!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteHi Inger .. looks good too - just so relaxed in Desert Canyon ..
ReplyDeleteGreat that you are walking 'round your barn' and starting your metabolism going - makes sense.
Just gorgeous to think about .. cheers Hilary
I'm glad life is good! The sound of birds tweeting is one of my favourite parts of being outdoors. They are bit annoying whilst trying to sleep but otherwise I'm more than happy to listen to them talking!
