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 friend and I went to the
Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge last week
after we were told there were lots of birds visiting.
There were!
We loved seeing this Wood Stork.
Good Thing #2:
This Yellow-crowned Night Heron
seemed to be enjoying the water.
Good Thing #3:
A new-to-me butterfly at the refuge:
White Peacock.
I hope you will join the linkup for Sunday Salon below.

Thanks for sharing your week, happy reading!
Oh, so you can this time enjoy gorgeus weather in Chicago. And yesterday was Printer's Row, I hope you went. We love going. We thought we were going to be on vacation, so not available. But we are home, and still couldn't go, as my husband's health is not at its best
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit to Chicago! I love the photos from your visit to the wildlife refuge. My husband and I plan to take up birding when he retires and after we move. His retirement date is in a few months, assuming everything goes as planned.
ReplyDeleteI loved Passing and Sister Carrie. Have fun in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to see a Wood Stork and Yellow-Crowned Night Heron! The White Peacock butterfly is so neat, too! I saw a Roadrunner while at my daughter's house in Texas last week! Hope you enjoy your time in Chicago! You might see some fall foliage.
