Picture of the day - April 27, 2006

Dinner At Mom's House

Birdfeeders

Several members of my family got together at mom's house yesterday to have lunch and spend the afternoon with her, and after we had finished off a wonderful home-cooked meal mom decided that she wanted to do a little rearranging of the birdfeeders hanging just outside her living room door. After I had made the changes she requested, we all sat down in the living room to talk for a while.

In no time at all several birds had descended upon the birdfeeders to enjoy a little lunch of their own. Several sparrows and yellow finches jostled for position with a cardinal and a couple of doves, and they finally succeeded in taking over the birdfeeders for themselves. I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pictures through the glass doors and porch railings, not really expecting them to turn out very well. But after I got home and took a look at them I decided to use this one for today's picture.

My dad was always a bird lover. He spent much of his time in his golden years on the couch watching "his" birds frolic around through those same glass doors. Mom loved watching the birds too, but she was usually busy doing other things like cleaning the house, cooking meals, or quilting (one of her favorite activities).

Mom has slowed down a bit now, but she still loves to quilt. And these days she often does her sewing while sitting in the living room where she can peek at the birds every now and then as they dine at her birdfeeders. She loves having company, and it seems that everyone enjoys eating at mom's house!
