I was en route to Sing Books at Aurora Library in Arlington, VA, & found this sweet sign to announce our event today. We sang some wonderful songs chosen by the children & enjoyed our time together. Many thanks to the lovable Librarian Miss Karen for hosting the event.

Looking at the sky
A vessel of perception
Sweeping chimney swifts

#10MinMerlin from my evening walk! Really 27 minutes.
I saw the swifts flying and chittering & stopped to hear the roll warblers (but never saw them) conversing in a patch of trees. The catbird singing its unexpectedly beautiful goodnight song was a delight. #TenMinMerlin

Twilight
The birds are singing
Their daily praises
To the setting sun
While I stroll past
A neighbor’s garden
And fill my lungs
With the sweet redemption
Of honeysuckle
That draped itself
Over the splintered fence

Just now face to face
With a sweet little nut hatch
With a hat of jet black
This, the white chested one

She looked in the feeder
Set into the window
Selected a peanut
And stuck out her tongue

The robin is singing
Good night to the sun
As it drops down behind the horizon

I so love the sweet chortle
While the sky glows ablaze
With deep pinks as I e’er set my eyes on
