Hence I have decided to call it a Pollen Warbler. Since Monday, I haven't heard the birdcall I hear once a year, just for a couple of weeks. No one has ever been able to identify the bird. Either it is a seasonal call of a bird that lives hear year round, or a bird that is migrating.<br /><br />I would bet $2 million that the pollen warbler is the bird that sings the song.<br /><br />Or ... maybe I should think about my friend and her cat. I might be wrong!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-17913756675135684232011-04-27T23:00:04.419-04:002011-04-27T23:00:04.419-04:00Planting a dead warbler, It might grow to be some ...Planting a dead warbler, It might grow to be some sort of tree haven for- warblers- the ones that will be sent there to teach you to sing and to fly.Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-69148225442589429742011-04-27T21:26:18.775-04:002011-04-27T21:26:18.775-04:00Oh what a beautiful picture of a perfect creature....Oh what a beautiful picture of a perfect creature.

Adeline`s rabbit had died and she could not stop thinking about him. Then another said, And my great-granny has died. I miss her.<br />So I said, it is good and right to be sad and to think about those who died. They will like that. And it fills your heart with what they were. <br />The dead little bird left his singing spirit at your doorstep, Reya. What a lovely gift.<br />All is good the way it is.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-85217991663384563012011-04-27T11:13:59.317-04:002011-04-27T11:13:59.317-04:00When I worked downtown, often a bird would be lyin...When I worked downtown, often a bird would be lying on the ground almost as if asleep.

It felt just right - neither up nor down, not in the nursery, not in the town. <br /><br />That poem resonates with the Tao of Goldilocks, a book I never wrote about moderation, about finding center.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-57920948336113346092011-04-27T09:31:20.261-04:002011-04-27T09:31:20.261-04:00I think the warbler's singing spirit will brin...I think the warbler's singing spirit will bring auspicious gifts to your garden.<br /><br />Bless you for treating it with such respect.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.com
