I love doing jigsaw puzzles. Recently, I was given a
thousand-piece puzzle that showed lots of birds, which I also love. There were
robins, cardinals, hummingbirds, bluejays, and sparrows all enjoying the field
of wildflowers that was the puzzle’s background. So colorful. I sat down and
got to work.
The puzzle wasn’t easy. It took me lots of days to finish
but while I was working on it, my backyard seemed to have its own bird puzzle.
There were robins flocking on the birdbath out back looking for a drink. A
bluejay flapped them away so it could take a bath. Crows piled onto the grass,
cawing as they searched for seeds. I heard chirping as I put the pieces into
their right places, which felt like the real birds were encouraging me to work
on the puzzle.
I am letting the finished puzzle stay on my dining room
table for a while where I can see it when I walk through the house. I
appreciate getting the bird puzzle as well as Mother Nature’s actual variety of
birds. Both are gifts that I value and enjoy.

As an added bonus, keeping the puzzle on your dining room table with enable you to see the birds even when it is raining outside and they are sheltering!
ReplyDeleteGood thought! You know how much I love birds, inside and out.
