Lucky

When we were young and you threw me away when you were done.
You should count your blessings my last name was not Clarkson.

And when on an endless lonely sea you set my poor heart adrift.
You know you’re so damn lucky my last name isn’t Swift.

You’ve plunged the knife so deep, I think at times for kicks.
I guess you won the jackpot because it isn’t Nicks.

Although you’ve given heartache for at least one good song.
And after all the harm you’ve done, no one would think me wrong.

Yes, so maybe one day I’ll make a record at the Ryman.
But you need to have music with words, and I’m also not

Snowbirds...

"Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring..."

The Birds....

Most of these I know what kind of bird they are. I have never really been a bird watcher I have photographed them sporadically and then the first day of spring 2010 it snowed and I was sitting at my computer looking out the window and they just kept coming up and posing for me... These photos are mostly that day but some others are here as well...I hope you enjoy...

I actually wrote this last March when we lost her Momma but it applies to all my beloved pets who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
