My Own Private World

@RubyHawk (99425)

Atlanta, Georgia

May 5, 2022 4:23pm CST

I finished my walk and my workout at the gym and came out on my deck to cool off and unwind. It is a hot day, sunny with heavy clouds coming in. I brought my iPad to catch up on notifications and brought my latest book The Winner, by David Baldacci to read a few pages. I haven’t heard many birds this spring but they’re chirping away today. I think the loudest bird must be the male. He sounds like he’s chirping, Easter, Easter, Easter and the one I suppose is the female answers , eek. Just one little eek. They must be getting ready to mate. Hopefully little birds will soon fill the trees around my deck With all the trees covered in greenery I can hardly see the apartments beyond my deck which pleases me greatly. I feel like I’m in my own private world. What are you guys doing on this beautiful day in May?

@JimBo452020 I like it. It’s convenient to everything and I have the creek and a walking trail.

I love that picture and wish I could be sitting on one of the rocks. I’m relaxing at home today.

@RubyHawk Yes got to be careful though here they are a landlord friendly state not for tenants

@RebeccasFarm It shouldn’t be like that anywhere. Tenants should have rights too.

In winter I can look at apartment decks behind me. Summer and they disappear behind the trees.

It is serene. The most noise I hear is a plane going overhead. My apartment is at the back of our building so I don’t hear cars going in and out.

That is a gorgeous place! Ah yes, it must be mating time . . . we hear various birds too. I wish we had lush greenery between us and the neighbors

. We got one child home from school - now waiting for the other - then making Mexican food tonight for Cinco de Mayo!

@RubyHawk Bird sounds are so lovely. We see little sparrows being fed by their mothers . . . they are up and about flying but bothering their parents still

. Thank you - we did!!

@much2say I’m not sure if we have birds hatched yet. I though I was hearing mating calls but I might be wrong. They might be hatching.

I live in a large apartment complex but I do have trees near my deck and a trail to walk along the creek. I like living here. Do you live in a house or an apartment?

I am planning to hibernate at home today. In the meantime, I am waiting for the man who will pick up my goods to be shipped. Then, I am boiling the mung beans and be sauteed with the other ingredients later.

We have such similar tastes in books. I have that one but haven't started it yet. I love your picture. It reminds me of my childhood as I grew up on a street called Sweetbrook Road and the brook that ran across the street from our house looked just like that. It's nice when the trees get green and give you privacy.

@RubyHawk I'm always looking for good book so I'll look for that one. I can't have too many books especially with the nicer weather coming. I love to sit outside and read

It is nice here. The trees and creek make it special. you’ll like The Winner. I’m reading a book now that I put aside earlier. I read a few pages and didn’t think I’d like it but I looked at it again and surprisingly it’s a really good book. The Quiet Game by Greg Iles.

@Marilynda1225 So do I. I sit on my deck and read or take my book down to the creek and read there. I could never have too many books but all my shelves are full. My classics I’ll never get rid of but others I trade at the book box at the park.
