To think, or at least trying tothis morning, my brain is foggy.
Bird Droppings December 1, 2025 To think, or at least trying to this morning, my brain is foggy. In the past year, I tore my rotator cuff, and my heart went into A-fib. I have had five biopsies and four surgeries for skin cancer, and I am waiting to hear about the fifth biopsy. I…

I saw a Red-Tailed Hawk
Bird Droppings November 27, 2025 I saw a Red-Tailed Hawk As I look at that statement, it isn’t very sensible for many. A red-tailed hawk crossed my path as I traveled yesterday, flying across the road and landing in a tree. Since we moved in, a pair of hawks has hunted the fields and hedgerows…

I was listening to the stillness of a morning, the sunrise, and sometimes we need a window and not a mirror.
Bird Droppings November 21, 2025 I was listening to the stillness of a morning, the sunrise, and sometimes we need a window and not a mirror. I was sitting alone this morning, as I often do, after running, trying to get a few photos of the sunrise. Today, it was mostly foggy and cloudy and…

Taking and making the most of each moment and learning about moleskin: I think we need to find moleskin in education, along with switchbacks.
Bird Droppings October 20, 2025 Taking and making the most of each moment and learning about moleskin: I think we need to find moleskin in education, along with switchbacks.

Glistening of wisdom on a gossamer strand
Bird Droppings September 29, 2025 Glistening of wisdom on a gossamer strand Many years ago, I was sitting alongside a fence in a field far away from houses and people, and I watched a spider spin a web. We see webs all around, and I read there are thousands of spiders per acre in any…

Just an observation, or am I seeing something totally different than you
Bird Droppings September 14, 2025Just an observation, or am I seeing something totally different than you “I am that I am”. I read that somewhere many years ago, a simple definition of someone. As I look at its simplicity, are we not all who we are? I grew up in a middle-class family first in…

An owl calling triggers so many memories
Bird Droppings September 5, 2025 An owl calling triggers so many memories Owls have been on my mind for a few days now. Last night, I woke up for a few minutes, but it turns out that I forgot to turn on the ceiling fan. While up, I stuck my nose out the door, perhaps,…

Is it a paradox that sometimes small can be big?
Bird Droppings August 19, 2025Is it a paradox that sometimes small can be big? August has been a slow month for sunrises, with clouds and fog nearly every morning. Somehow, between the clouds and even in the fog, I have found images worthy of a photo. Finding the tiny pieces within our existence is a…

Wind in the trees
Bird Droppings August 9, 2025Wind in the trees Over the past weeks, we have had nearly ten inches of rain, and storms have come through the area. Just before I went to bed a few nights ago, we were to get another in the morning; now, it is clear through Sunday. Several times, a few…
