I heard all this twittering and looked up into the trees the other day and noticed these birds up there. If you click on the photo you may get a better view of them. There are two in one tree and two in another.
I don't have very nice lighting fixtures in my house, we've lived with what it came with. However, I've always loved glass chandeliers and seriously considered replacing the fixture hanging over my dining table. Until I went to a friend's house the other day, she had beautiful crystal chandeliers. She mentioned they need a lot of cleaning to keep their sparkle. I realized I would never spend any amount of time keeping all the little crystals clean. And so if and when I do replace my lighting fixtures it will be something modern and contemporary, I like that too!
Another thought that recently came to me, is that husband M and I both enjoy regular visits to the gym. I noticed both of our grown children also enjoy going to the gym. It is so true that kids learn by example.
