With this being the view from my workstation, who can complain about a Monday morning? Actually, Mondays are one of my favourite days in any work-week situation (I'm weird like that, but I'm also a morning person, so there's that). But this....plus my little friends? I mean, come on. Inspiration and quiet productivity are just built into the deal.
I've also been able to capture a picture of the other bird who's built a nest under our eves off to the side a little.
The ap on my phone identifies this as a phoebe, further confirmed by the characteristic 'pumping of the tail.' Oh so much more cautious! It's taken me a long time to be able to even get any photo at all, let alone one that could identify her. But I think she's figuring out how to take care of her brood with me here on the deck. Of interest, I'm noticing that I can tell which bird has recently landed nearby just by the sound of their wings. It's different for the blue jay, jenny wren, and phoebe. Of course, should the blue heron drop by there's no doubt who's making that falomp-falomp of an entrance!
Of course I have to mention my chipmunk friends as well. I've counted as many as five on the deck at the same time. Make that six. Another one just showed up. Word's gotten out.
Okay, enough visiting over breakfast. Time to get at it. Working from home was never so good. I've got a satisfying list before me, all fresh and unchecked and waiting. Later my accompanist (guitar) for the children's story/song on Sunday is coming by for a mini rehearsal. Should be fun.
And later, yes, it sounds like summer might show up after all. We have the fans ready, and lots of ice in the freezer. Of course, it's always a little cooler here by the water, and the famous Georgian Bay breezes are so welcome on the hot days.
Stay cool and delighted everyone. Hope you have AC if you need it. Hope you have sweet friends to keep you company. Hope the week starts off in a way that's all ready for summer!
