I spied you eating. With delight, I rushed to find you in Audubon! more Weekly  Top Shot I figured this was a woodpecker of some kind. Sorrowfully, Audubon's North American Birds showed no such bird for me.  Later, youngest son googled on his phone.  Nope, no help there.  Bleh!  Still later, I was reading comments on my blog so I followed the commentator to her blog.  (I like to visit the sites of those who take the time to comment.)  Black Jack's Carol had an image of my new bird!  It's a female downy woodpecker.  Hurrah for bloggers who share their knowledge with us! New and unknown bird seeks my heart's admiration, given speedily. seek others at Haiku My Heart

What makes me smile? Myah's laughter,  her curly hair, the memory of holding my own babies, toddler learning anything new, waterfalls,  birds at my feeder,      colored pencils,  crayons,  music from flutes or string instruments, panoramic view of a river, Jax's purr, feeling the soft fur of my Siamese, the light bulb effect when  a student "got it", rainbows, sunshine, fresh blanket of snow, the tender and loving healing that radiated through me  when my husband would touch me, prayers being chanted, the sound of the bells when the Eucharist is elevated. These, and more I'm sure, kindle a warm feeling and a smile in me.
