Five Bluebirds of Happiness

So happy right now. I was sitting at the window watching the hummingbirds chasing each other from one feeder to another. Out of the corner of my eye I saw five baby bluebirds come for a visit to the bird bath. They were splashing all around.
I didn't have any babies in my backyard house this year due to the other birds and their babies. So I have missed them. These five bluebirds have been here before. I have talked about them many times.
I was inside, so I didn't get a chance to snap any photos. But it was so exciting to see these babies. I call them babies because you can still see the spots on them. For at least the first year, they will have spots and then they reach adulthood.
This means even though my backyard house was not successful, somebody closeby had a nest of five bluebird babies. And that makes me very happy!
Enjoy the little things in life.

@CarolDM My father told me, wherever birds were born, they will visit with their young:) Those are grandchildren, Carol!

If we joint enjoy the little things in life then when something a bit bigger comes out way we're really up a creek. But when we can appreciate the good in our life and looking for the silver linings, which I will say seems easier for some than others, then the mountains we get hit with we can treat like a pebble in our shoe and keep moving.

@CarolDM glad you got the gist of what I was trying to say since my phone changed some of my words. For the forest time ever I could figure it out and made the correct changed.

Awesome! The gentle spirit of the garden has a sense of humor. Made you wait, but then wasn't the wait worth it?

It is really cool you have bluebirds in your yard..most of the birds that hang around here are small and an unexciting shade of brown. Once in awhile we get a handsome bird though.

Glad to hear you have those bluebirds in your garden/backyard. Here we have a fair amount of bluejays who love peanuts in a shell...just like squirrels... Glad to see you here on my lot and Virily Carol...

I also noticed a little bird in my front yard. It always comes to the same street. It's a beautiful tiny bird.

Aw, I love seeing all of the birds around!
They remind me of God's love for us since He cares for them. =)

Enjoy the little things in life, Indeed. There are times that I am very busy with how to solve hard things. I missed those little things that might give me inspiration... I think I need to see the wonder of little things to be refresh...
