Season of wind

· Maine Event

It feels like we are in the season of wind, especially here in the city. It was also a gloriously sunny day, perfect in so many ways. Work was regularly busy. Mondays used to be very quiet, but now we have more people upstairs, making it livelier.

The world has way too much violence happening everywhere. Pray for peace.

The bird of the day is Psaltriparus minimus, aka Bushtit

Psaltriparus minimus is a type of long-tailed tit found exclusively in North America (western U.S., Canada, and Mexico). It belongs to the family Aegithalidae (long-tailed tits), although it is distinct from the Eurasian "Long-tailed Tit" (Aegithalos caudatus).

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
