When families don't already exist, they are made.

Very true. Family doesn't have to be blood relatives. Just love for one another.

Oh, how lovely this is, Mark! Thank you for the sweetest of morning reads. Here is a little present for you. A live camera in the woods - snow and BIRDS. Sometimes only one bird is there, but then 12 show up - all different kinds from the smallest shyest chickadee to the largest aggressive stellar jay. I visit it three times a day. The only time I get out in nature...

Thanks, Sharron. We have two feeders hanging in the front yard, visible from our dining table. Birds, squirrels, and bunnies all visit.

Sounds lovely. I have only a humming bird feeder. In the window next to my rocking chair. And two hummers. I don’t know where the others go in the winter, but these two have stayed…

We had one for a while. It was fun to see them.

I feed the white wings and the sparrows and finches every morning. Still trying to figure out how to get them as subscribers!

🤣 Birds are picky readers. I managed to get a couple of Starlin(g)s as readers. 😉
