Yesterday I was taking out the trash when I went into my backyard and saw some birds perched on my backyard fence. I snapped their picture before they flew away. I didn't mean to scare them. I just wondered if they were "Love Birds." Were they having a nice moment, or were they discussing something? Were they enjoying the moment, or getting ready to ruffle their feathers? It's funny how we can snap a picture and then make up a story in our mind never knowing what the real truth is. I'd like to think they were Love Birds! But, maybe not! You read in the paper all the time about the crumbling of marriages even after many years. So, nothing seems to last forever anymore. But, for this moment at least, they are my "Love Birds" making pretty music!
Speaking of music, in the afternoon I was watching Oprah when I started to cry uncontrollably! It was during the Sound of Music reunion. The Von Trapp great grandchildren were singing "Edelweiss" and I just lost it. My husband thought I was sad about my father (who was German), but I was actually thinking about my mother. I have a few "real" albums still and one of them is the Sound of Music. It was always one of my favorite plays. I was Louisa in my middle school production. I was very proud of this since my twin sister played Brigitta, my younger sister! I still remember one line, "I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly....."
I don't fly, but those "Love Birds" do. Fly free and happy.
