I'm grateful for lots of things today. A few -

For the new PT, and for the chance meeting with the runner who gave me his name.

For the eastern phoebes who've chosen to nest under our eave again this year. The nest is right where I can lie on the couch and watch the chicks with my binoculars. They're 12 days old today and just starting to pay attention to their surroundings.

For the Baltimore orioles who are visiting my feeder this year, which they never have before. Such a bright splash of color.

For finally starting to come out the other side of this cold>sinus infection>just enough bronchitis to scour my lungs out a little.

For a beautiful sunny day.
