WISDOM OF THE DAY...
A wise old owl sat in an oak,The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

In the days of King Arthur, the King's magician, Merlin always carried an owl on his shoulder. It was during these days that the owl came to be a symbol for wisdom since Kings often turned to their magicians to help them solve problems. The owl was also seen as a symbol of learning and intelligence during the days of King Arthur. So invite owls into your life and you, too can be wise!

BIRD OF TRUTH...
Cherokee legend is that the Chickadee helped the tribe to kill an evil spirit by landing on the most vulnerable place on the spirit, helping to pinpoint the truth and providing the knowledge the tribe needed.
A member of the Titmouse family...meaning small bird...the Chickadee seems to represent the good side of we humans...
~If a chickadee perches near your house, an old friend is returning.
~A chickadee chirping enthusiastically means good weather.
~If a chickadee is hanging upside-down, good news is on the way.
The Applachians are blessed with many Carolina Chickadees. They frequent bird feeders regularly, but if you want a photo, act quickly, they are fast, feisty, and full of themselves. Here are two I was able to get this year.

IT HAS BEEN A...
gorgeous day in the mountains of East Tenneessee. Temps. right around 60 degrees, and sunshine from daylight till sunset. Not a cloud to be seen, providing unfettered viewing of the rich, blue skies. Just enough "spring-like" to lift our spirits before winter returns tomorrow! By the way, is Groundhog Day tomorrow, or was it today?
Out for her own day in the sun, a hawk (broadwinged or red-tailed) blends in very well with her surroundings. Had I not seen her fly to the tree, I don't think I would have ever seen her. I think she is making her home just down the creek from our home. We are happy to have her.
