The trees on our property give us many things...
beautiful silhouettes
shady spots to sit
big branches for swings
they draw your eyes to the sun and clouds
a tall lacy country skyline
they welcome visitors along the gravel drive
and invite you to walk barefoot in the grass
beside the creek
and the fruit trees give us wonderful sweet oranges and lemons
and crunchy apples
and the peaches...yum
(I had to pick them all early because the squirrels love them too)
but the trees provide a place for animals and birds of all kinds
wrens, woodpeckers and finches
owls, hawks and orioles...are just a few of the birds we see (and hear) every day

yes...more eggs now!
the little Junco laid 4 last week
and this week we have babies
not a cute as I thought they would be...
but I'm sure mama thinks they are just beautiful
so this is why the trees are so wonderful,
they provide so much my family and for other families too
I feel like I need to hug a tree...you too?
What beautiful trees! How special it is that you have baby birds too. Hope you have a great week!

ReplyDeleteit is simply wonderful to pick fruit off a tree in your yard and eat it right then and there! I do it when I have dirt on my hands sometimes and even that doesn't matter!...it's that much fun ; o )
