Sun is out of his comforter

  It is 10.15, I am done with, having my breakfast, in my eat in kitchen. Sitting  beside patio doors, now enjoying with, whatever is going on in my back garden. Two Red Cardinals having their morning treats, in one of the bird feeders, in front. Black Squirrel is done with his exercises, now relaxing near the wooden fence, on the side of my lush green garden.  TV is on, I can see highlights of the last night Leaf's winning game. Ice Hockey is very popular here in Canada. Maple Leaf is Toronto team. People are hooked  up with hockey games, keeping track of their favorite team placements in Playoff games. My time at downstairs, is done. Now time to go upstairs, to be in my room. It is time to be with my computer, to connect with my, far away family and friends. Time to have a seat beside my table, to watch through the window, to connect with the world outside.  It is mixed sunny cloudy morning. Looks very windy. I just checked the weather web site, wind gusts are around 90 km. It  m

The Fragrance in the atmosphere

  It is 9.45, beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning. I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my morning tea, walking around on my deck. Last evening, my son was doing lawn mowing of the garden. Atmosphere is fully  loaded with the fragrance of freshly cut grass. I see the small red bird sitting on top of the tree. She is reluctant to come to the bird feeder. I think, I have to go inside. We Humans have something, enough to scare other creatures. They don't feel comfortable to come closer.  Why to talk about other creatures, people of our own family, I mean of our own Human family, not getting along. We always find our ways to divide people into groups. We find lame excuses of  Cast, Creed and Religion, to get  our job done. Job of making divisions. We have to work a lot, to improve, be more compassionate, more empathetic, so to live with everyone around, in harmony and peaceful atmosphere. I believe, we will be more happy, if we let others live their lives.  the way, they want. Respec

Small Green Bird in my Bird Feeder

  Beautiful morning. Sun is shining after couple of mixed sunny cloudy mornings. It is still cold 3 C, wind gusts around 34 km. I am having my breakfast, in eat - in kitchen, next to my patio door, from here I can have the view of my back garden. The view of my Bird feeders, to check the visitors in my garden. The Red Cardinals, the Brown Rabbit and my friend, the Black Squirrel.  My TV is on, News Channel displaying Covid updates. The number of cases. How many positive, how many in hospitals, in ICU and so on. Things not getting better even after Vaccinations. Variants are now making a mess. We have to be careful. Have to follow the Directives. Have to keep social distancing and have to use Masks whenever required. This is for everyone safety and for our own safety too. I think there is nothing total plus or total minus. I mean everything is like a mixed plate. Like a mixed cloudy sunny day. There is always something positive behind every negative. I think, it is how we take it. Covid

She is shy not impolite

  Beautiful morning. Sun in full bloom. Birds are back. Squirrel is back on his routine schedule for his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. My bird feeder is back to life with couple of Red small birds, the Northern Cardinals around. Grass is lush green. I am enjoying and happy to see all that, just missing one of my friend, the White Butterfly. She will also be back soon. We have to think positive. I am done with my breakfast, now time to be in my room, to be with my computer, to connect with my friends and family. Time to connect with my neighborhood and the world outside. My front garden looks great. Magnolia tree on the left, is full of buds. I can see Dark Red streak in their bodies. They look, full of life, full of energy, about to burst out into beautiful lovely flowers. It is just matter of days. Trees around, no more look like bare skeletons. They look confident, strong, ready for a come back. My Red wooden bench shining on the green of my garden. Black Squirrel havin

Magnolia tree and my Red wooden Bench

  It is a mixed sunny cloudy morning. Sun is still hiding, shy to come out from, under the misty skies. It still, looks like a beautiful morning. Skeleton trees around, look great with green tinge on their bodies. Magnolia tree on the left of my front garden, is loaded with buds. Buds ready to burst out, to pop up soon. To be transformed into beautiful flowers. Red wooden bench is shining by the side of my garden. Couple of birds enjoying their morning walk, having chit chat. What a beautiful view to behold.  I know there is Pandemic going on. That is real, not make up stories. We watch all the times on News Channels. Life looks into trouble. We start thinking negative. Looks, there is nothing to enjoy. Anything can happen, any time. That is OK. We have to follow the Directives. Take things seriously. Have to keep social distancing. Have to use Masks, whenever required.  With all that, life is still good. God is watching over us. He is providing so many options to enjoy, to have our go

  Beautiful morning, I am having breakfast, sitting beside my patio door, enjoying my oatmeal porridge, stir fired egg and my morning cup of tea. It  was raining for couple of days. Today, it is m ixed sunny and cloudy morning. We have three Bird feeders in our back garden. I keep on checking from behind glass doors, to watch the traffic. I mean, watch for birds. Look like, one Bird Feeder is the popular one. Two Red small birds, the Northern Cardinals keep coming to have snacks over there.  The other two Feeders are more attractive, full of delicious stuff, still waiting for visitors. I don't know why, birds ignoring all that. I think, big mansions, beautiful houses, doesn't mean anything. People have their own instincts, which lead them to go the place of their choice. Same must be the case with birds too.  It is 10.30, my time to enjoy my back garden is done. This is time for me to be with my computer, to connect with my family and friends. Time to look through my bed room w

  It is 9.15, I am done with breakfast, enjoying my morning tea on the deck. Great view of beautiful morning. Spring showering it's glamour all around. I can hear, birds having chit chat, must be making plans to eat out. They know, we have to follow the directives, have to keep social distancing. They will manage. It was raining last night. Everything looks great after having shower. We have three bird feeders in our back garden. Red small birds, the Northern Cardinals keep coming on one of the feeder. Squirrel also enjoying the free treat. Yesterday I noticed two small Brown Rabbits were here too. They are regular visitors for couple of years, in spring time. It is 10.15, time to go to my room, to be with my computer, to connect with my family and friends. We have to divide our day into slots, to get busy, to live in day tight compartment. To not to leave any space for negative thoughts. This keeps us on right track, away from thinking negative.  Keep your day plan ready before ha

Enjoying My Bird Feeders

It is morning, I am having breakfast in my eat in kitchen, sitting beside my Patio door. My back garden displaying a beautiful view to behold. Sun is in full bloom. Grass is lush green. Couple of days back, my son set up two bird feeders in my back garden. Two beautiful Red color small birds discovered that. They are coming for their food. I checked the web site. These are called Northern Cardinals.  This morning I noticed one more bird coming to the other bird feeder. This is small black bird. Setting bird feeders, is not rocket science and not costly. We got it from Dollarama. The Dollar stores are very popular here. You can get variety of stuff between range of one to five or sometimes seven dollars budget. You can hang Bird feeders along plant branches or tie up in your balcony, or can set up hanging outside your window. Trust me, it is fun to wait for them and keep watching, whenever they are there. This is more than enough to make your day. Bird feed also doesn't cost much. 

Spring is revival of life

 Beautiful sunny morning with 2 C below zero. I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside my Patio. Having my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge, stir fried egg and my morning cup of tea, also enjoying the view of my back garden. Deck is shining under the full bloom sun. Grass is lush green. Couple of birds having their morning walk on the grass. My friend the Black Squirrel is back for his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. Beautiful view to behold, to cherish.  It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, now time to be in my room, to be with my computer, to connect with my family and friends also to connect with the view outside. It is quiet in my neighborhood. I think, it is long weekend, may be people are still in bed. Most of the cars are hiding in garage, some are on driveways, waiting for orders, to proceed.  Red wooden bench shining, giving color to the green of my front garden. Magnolia tree on the left, is all set to be with flowers around. Skeleton trees , no more shaky, lo
