Just sitting...

Odd as it might seem, I just spent about an hour in my back garden....doing nothing. There are leaves to be raked, roses to be deadheaded and a host of other issues that myst be dealt with. Instead I say long enough to let the startled birds and squirrels re-gather at the feeder and just sat there watching them. What kid of gardener am I? Obviously one who's mind finally told them to slow down a bit and enjoy what I have just outside my window.

Dusk is falling and I am sitting inside now, looking out the window onto the same patch of trees, shrubs and feeders. The birds will gather until night fall and only when the windows turn black will I turn away.
