Debbie Lanier's Life and Times: Volume 17: Birds (Birdies)

There's no question that amongst the animals and small things my mom loved, birds (or birdies) as she called then, were near the top of the list. 

Debbie loved small birds of all kinds and saw them as a positive sign or omen. She had bird feeders and a hummingbird feeder. I've mentioned owning parakeets also and chickens. 

She especially loved and understood the significance of redbirds. I painted a small redbird that's still in her old bedroom and of course her urn was one filled with redbirds. 

Debbie knew to find joy in the small things and of course those that needed help. I think we could all do more of this.
