As a child, birds fascinated me. I remember asking a neighbor if he would make me a birdhouse. He agreed to construct this for me. After finding the plans, I submitted them to him. A few days later he knocked at the door to our home and presented me with the birdhouse.
Almost immediately I painted the house. The roof was black, the sides were white. The perch was red. I had a good color sense, even at ten. Because my home backed up to a large wooded area, I could always be found in the forest. Early morning until dinner time. Other girls my age played dolls. I played with my horses. Singularly.
And then there were the animals. That hasn't changed too much. I ride from time to time and I am still absorbed by birds. I suppose it is one of those interests that grow as one's world quiets down.
Cardinals abound at my house. Take a look at cardinal parents feeding their young:
