Both of our cats enjoy sitting on a table looking out a window in our living room. I thought that it might be a good idea to put a bird feeder outside of that window so the cats could be entertained.
I’ve never used a bird feeder before so I was a little surprised to learn that it could take two or three weeks for birds to find and trust the new food source.
It was day three that I saw my first feeders. I was very excited. For those of you who don’t know, our property borders a nature preserve so I am not surprised that our feeder was found quickly.
All of this got me to thinking about my current life status. Is it a good thing to get excited about birds finding and using my bird feeder? I’m going to say "yes" because I have noticed that the older I get the more I enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
We’ve often heard that we should “stop and smell the roses”. Well, I stop to watch the bird feeder. I think it’s the same idea.
