International Women's Day - 2012 - TODAY!

March is the month to honor women of the world! From Hina Matsuri in Japan, (which we call "Girls Day"), celebrated on March 3rd, to Women's Day, celebrated the world over on March 8th, women around the world are acknowledged for the vital roles we play. At Little Bird Farm, we send great appreciation, love and honor to the very, very special women in our family! Each of OUR women, is making the world a better place every day; pursuing their dreams, finding great purpose, and sharing love in ways that only women can. We are so proud of our women! Here are our littlest women! Their smiles alone make the world a better place! How we love them!!!! These little women are amazing!

Little Surprises

A couple of surprises here; first, the fact that I am actually putting up a new blog post after...four??? months! And second, this absolutely precious, small, hand-carved owl that we see on our acequia walk every day now. This little fella is a shy 2" tall and sits in the middle of this rotted out tree knot - proud and adorable. Seeing all. Normally, when I am walking Fred, my eyes are either down, so I don't fall in a hole, or way up, watching a hawk or some variety of rare bird (meanwhile, falling into a hole). Rarely straight ahead. But when my line of vision is straight ahead, I see other wonderful things! Like this little owl! Somebody placed him there in January, and I can't even express how delighted I feel about this unexpected, sweet little surprise. Each day that I see him, my sense of hope is renewed. "He is still safe in his cozy tree knot!" Not only is he still safe, but somebody has recently placed a tiny pheasant feather in there for him. "Snuggle in, little owl! Blossoms are beginning to bloom, but it is still chilly!" Ah, little surprises. Happy March!
