The Perfect Kind of Day


may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old...
— E.E. Cummings


It's wet and dark out today...the perfect kind of day to light some candles, turn on the music, and work on few polymer clay flowers. But if you're a certain little determined bird named Ginger, it's the perfect kind of day to try to get into things you're not suppose to...and then snuggle next to a warm, fuzzy sweater.


Of course, even if you're not a certain little determined bird named Ginger, this is also the perfect kind of day for just about anything!

Dear Kim,

Ginger looks like the perfect candidate to keep a song in one's heart. You even found the sweetest cottage bird!

Your Friend,
Deborah

HOW cute!
We have had several cockatiels.
Our Gracie, looks the most like your Ginger. She "helped" me with my crafts by poking holes in things with her beak.
She isn't with us anymore, but sometimes I can still her her singing when it's real quiet...

    My name is Kim and I live in a little tumble down house that needs a lot of tender loving care. Our budget is small but I believe what you lack in money, you can make up for in creativity and patience. I hope you enjoy your visits to my nest for a long time to come and I welcome your comments and suggestions!
