I loved this fat bluebird perched on this snowy fence post in Indiana.
It is kindly shared by a charming, warm longtime ebay seller, mim,
who reserves all rights of her photo.
THREE bluebirds! What a rare photo.
This was taken by a very special lady in Wisconsin
whose items on eBay are for sale under the id mysteryhorse.

Since Thanksgiving, I've had the pleasure of my 83 year old mom's company. I'm enjoying her more than I can say; however, the time I once spent blogging - I'm now sharing with her. I miss blogging but I wouldn't miss this time with my mother for all the posts in the world.
I do want to say that I wish the "Bluebird of Happiness" for each of us this year. The blue bird is representative of spring and other blessings and though there are many, many legends surrounding the bluebird - there is one sweet story, published 1913, that I particularly love.
It's an enchanting tale evocative of Hansel and Gretel opening on Christmas Eve in a poor woodcutter's cottage, authored by Georgette Leblanc (Madame Maurice Maeterlinck), titled The Blue Bird For Children, The Wonderful Adventures of Tyltyl and Mytyl in Search of Happiness.
Google makes it available to us through their priceless book search and it may be read online or downloaded in its entirety in PDF format. It's sweetly illustrated and begins appropriately with the words

Oh they are so pretty...don't have those here in Canada. At least not where I live! I've enjoyed my visit to your blog and look forward to lurking more!!
Hi Devonia, it's been awhile since I was last here, way too long. I need to fix that! Enjoy your mom to the fullest. My mother is now 81, she lives alone, but is close. I see her at least once or twice a week and talk to her more often. I can't begin to think of my world without her in it. Mom's are not forever, blogging will always be there. Thinking of you, Char
Devonia ~
Those are the most precious little bluebirds ~
Have a wonderful time enjoying your mom ~ it is precious !

Hi Devonia, I have missed seeing you! But happy for you and your Mom. The bluebirds at the bird bath is amazing. I have a lot of blue birds here but have never seen them at the birdbath. Funny...because a bird bath is right under their houses. Come for a visit when you can.
