Birds and Family
Spring is here, and so are the rains. All the family too. We went out to Clearwater for my grandfathers memorial. There's been a lot of thrifting and time spent with birds.
A pair of sandhill cranes and their juvies came to visit.
This bird loves lightbulbs. It is a dangerous fascination.
Training with a coopers hawk.
It must be the year of the great horns around here, there have been so many babies in!
Yeah, the bird is weird.
We had a big renaissance fundraiser last week at the center. It was a ball, and even after four hours of glove time, Henry was just wonderful!

Love and life, Love life
I feel very full right now. A lovely kind of full where I'm happy to be alive, surrounded with birds and life and love and family.
I woke up this morning and spend an hour sitting on the little dock surrounded by Sandhill Cranes. They tried to eat my sandal, and then pointedly ignored me and ate snails until I finally had to leave. It was a wonderful way to wake up.
I read books and paint, I fix up clothes and sell them in my little shop, I teach people about raptors, and get to spend time with some of my favorite birds on the planet. I have a wonderful husband and tons family who I'm finally getting to know. On the weekends, we get to try out hotels and restaurants. In a few months, the bees will come, and I may have a summer job.
Life has always been about what's next for me. Where am I going to live, what am I going to study, what job am I going to get. I'm happy just where I am for the first time, and it's like I can finally breathe. Contentment isn't just acceptance of complacency, a lack of drive, it's a wonderful feeling of everything being right. And I love it.
