Winter Birds

Winging their Way to your Door...

When Winter Storms are at your Door   

under the Roof of Welcome Home  

Our winged friends sing their Song. 

Bright Red Cardinals appear every Year... 

They bring their feathery friends 

the Purple Finch with beautiful Raspberry tones... 

Poinsettias will soon be seen among the Green 

with Blue lights and a Bright Star for the 

Wise Men to follow as we choose the Path 

to a Safe Harbor for all that Seek Peace and Love...

dear Fran… forgive my lateness. It is lovely to have Red Cardinals and Poinsettia for Christmas . We have the same arrangement here in Virginia. Wishing you Mistletoe Kisses and Presents like Frankincense, Myrrh, and Gold. tenderly, Pat

awaaa! my dear... so sweet! I hear birds all around here, in Winter their chirping feels more special. on Christmas Day I saw a very tiny Robin... he was so adorable.

Mk… thank you for your review… with scattered seeds where Winter Birds stay for a day or so. Pat

You're Welcome, Patricia!

You've got me lost in you meaning, you start with a Winter storm, but birds will leave it before it comes, should we need our feather friends or heed man , love how it comes together, it makes me think of meaning.
Thank you for sharing.
Good write .

[Mauricio Montoya]

Sorry I came back I had to read and saw something different. And had to reply.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Mauricio… glad you came back… Nature is always changing… today on Christmas Eve.. we have Red Cardinals and a Red- headed Woodpecker at our Kitchen Window .. very hungry… and sharing with the Blue Jays. A good example of sharing when we have turbulent times . Prayers and blessings… Merry 🎄 Times…. Pat and family
and a Wonderful New Year 2023

Wowzy woo....
Howdy doooo......

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami… glad you could visit … Blue Jays are arriving at our feeder also. The biggest surprise is a Red headed Woodpecker at our Feeder. Previously we only saw a Red-headed Woodpecker three years ago… pecking on a tree in our front yard. So many people are decorating for the Holidays. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said. Enjoy the holidays!.

How very lucky you are to have such magnificent birds as the cardinal visit each winter, I can imagine the joy they must bring .................. Seasonal Greeting from this side of the pond to your door Pat :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Neville… how Lucky we are to have You express the ❤️ Love of Red Cardinals … particularly when Evergreens Bow to Humanity when Prayers ascend to Heaven where Angels Weep for the Sheep who have gone astray… Wishing you and yours … Peaceful Starry Nights. gently, Pat

A lovely ode to the winter birds…. We need them for song, comfort and wink of warmth…. Those cardinals look so red against the whiteness of the frigid…..but winter only lasts as slow as the poinsettias emerge…..crisp ever blue sky makes our path easy to follow…..
Best
B

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Betty, I love your words, “winter only lasts as slow as the poinsettias emerge”. We do indeed have a crisp ever blue sky. Wishing you today on Thursday… the warmth of friends as the Wind settles in for a Winter Nap. Thanks for your Visit and Blessings. tenderly, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

Happy the day after Thanksgiving... hope you're not overly stuffed as I am.... I loved your poem....
And of course you're very welcome!
Truly, B

[Mauricio Montoya]

I love this piece,it reminds me of this small town in Chihuahua Mexico it was surrounded by trees with two rivers that ran through and life all around and plenty of birds ok all kinds. You took me down memorie lane. Thank you for sharing.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Mauricio… and on the eighth day God created Birds with Wings in Colors of the 🌈 Rainbow and feathers took Wing and their little hearts could sing 🎶.., Amen… I appreciate your Review. tenderly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Msuricio… I realize now that God created Birds and Sea Creature on the fifth day as stated in the Bible …

[Dave Brown]

I repeat how very lucky you are
no Red Cardinals (or embarrassed priests) or purple finches here, ever
We did have a Thrush stop by, Stellar Jays earlier and when the temp drops like it has, we are a refuge for close to a hundred Blackcap, Chickadee and Towhees who wait in our back garden for us to wake every morning
Ain't it wonderful

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dave… I adore Chickadees. One year we had quite a number of Chickadees in our City of Fredericksburg, Virginia. I wish they would visit more often. I think the Wood Thrush are beautiful with their speckled Breast. I must look up Towhees. Birds are my Muse. I enjoyed your Visit. tenderly, Pat
