I came to really love a little bird that often visits my place and plays–whenever I pull down the shades a bit. Wonder how it knows when I do. And it’s always the same bird that visits, and my porch just turns into its playground, with the short trees to jump about. Today, it even got into my flower pot, to have a look. Haha. And I’m beginning to suspect that this bird ate the stately orange spider that had been living here for quite a while this summer. All the empty webs…. Well, this bird appears so merry and lively that it brings me such joy!
