What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
I am home after taking care of three dogs, five ducks, hundreds of chickens, and a horse with my daughter-in-law's Aunt Susie while my son and his family went on vacation.
I am exhausted.

What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
A Carolina Wren
is nesting in a hanging basket
on our front porch.

Good Thing #2:
I did not photograph any
new-to-me birds in East Texas,
but at dawn, when I awoke each morning,
I heard this one, a Chuck-Will's Widow:

Good Thing #3:
At my age, I bruise easily.
I got this bruise from trying to
quickly close a chicken pen.
It's a reminder to me
of my purpose here on Earth.
Watching a bird’s nest near home is great; We had nesting robin in a tree next to our porch this spring and it was delightful. We think the little ones successfully fledged, at least we hope so.
ReplyDeleteThat bruise looks terrible— I hope it clears up quickly!
Have a good weekend… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Whew! That is a lot of critters in addition to the chickens you spoke about last week. And of all the animals that I thought might have caused a bruise, I wouldn’t have guessed the chickens. I don’t think I could draw a heart that perfect!
