Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

The Odd Duck and the Goose Fight~


Yes, yes yes ;) ;)

 I am still here, laying low for a couple of weeks, not feeling up to where I need to be health wise.
I have missed blogging, church services since 2 weeks prior to Easter celebration,  and even an engagement party due to just not feeling right!
 The script that I have been taking for my severe Willis Ekbom Disease has backfired!
One must be their own advocate when it comes to health issues and it is so wise to keep a journal as well, so that you can know when the symptoms began.
Looking forward to having a consultation with Neurologist this week.
The photo shares for this post were drafted nearly a month ago.   
It is such a joy to share in your lives and I apologize once again for not being up to sharing the past couple of weeks, but will try and feel better to do better. 
We have extended family on Facebook and they at least have seen a few entries that show I am alive.
The Black Swan and Mute Swan make fine friends at a local petting zoo~

Upon arriving at the petting zoo entrance was heard a lot of noise across the lane. 
Two Canada Geese were fighting and it lasted too long, was kind of awful, actually~




The females came in trying to break up the terrible encounter. 
 I was so thankful when it was finally over~





We had heavy early Spring rains last month and the field that you see below is really a small pond, which flooded. 
Many gulls and ducks made their way there for a few days visit on their migration journey~




Mr and Mrs Northern Shoveler were there too ;)











Does anyone notice anything odd about the Wood Duck below?
  My friend Dominic Gendron did ;)
Look at those eyes...look at the feather pattern...a female indeed, a male, hmm!!







There was a small flock of beautiful Blue-winged Teals also visiting the flooded pond area~





The sunrise on this particular Sunday morning gave me hope for a new dawn, a new day and I am claiming it...maybe you will as well.
Happy week to you~

Painted Glow of a New Dawn~

A good day to the moon as it slowly begins to settle in the west, while the sun coming up from behind me, painted a lovely glow that lit up the red barn below~

The Black Swan was looking pretty cold when I got to the frozen pond where it resides~

The Alpaca looked pitiful out in the field, where ice had formed in it's fur...burr, it was really cold at 28'~
