What better way to end the holiday weekend (Labor Day here in the United States) than with a sing along post featuring some of the birds I was blessed to see over the last several days! So channel your inner Julie Andrews and have some fun. 🙂
Chickadees chirping and Nuthatches sipping
Autumn clad Towhees and bright Cardinals dipping
Color of sunshine, the sweet warbler sings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Thrashers on fence poles and Downies on branches
Glorious patterns and curious glances
Blue Herons wading out into the stream
These are a few of my favorite things!
Checkerboard patterns on woodpeckers lunching
Pilfering peanuts and cute chipmunks munching
Earthy brown feathers or glimmering greens
These are a few of my favorite things!
When my heart sighs
and my fears rise
and my song is sad
I look at the beauty my Father has made
and soon my heart’s feeling glad!

Awww beautiful post, Kathy!!! One of my favorites ever of yours (which is saying something)!
Laura…I thought of you when I wrote it…I know your heart has “sighed” a bit lately, and I hoped it would make you smile. 🙂
Thank you, Kathy. How kind! I did smile; you have a way with photos and words, a double blessing! 💜💜
Love it Kathy! We have so many of the same, and you capture such amazing shots!
Glad you enjoyed it…and I hope you tried to sing along. 🙂

Wonderful, Kathy! A magical song, with photos to match 🙂 (and luckily none of you could actually hear my off-key singing while reading the lyrics!)
It would have been fun to hear you sing it! 🙂
Oh no it wouldn’t… Julie Andrews I am not! 😉
Love the little poem at the end, it´s absolutely wonderful! The pictures are gorgeous too – as always!!! 😊💕
Thanks – it was a fun post to write. 🙂
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you. 🙂
Just searched through your post to come back to this so I could sing it to Matthew. He loved it.
That’s fun. 🙂
