Just Last Week / myLot

August 8, 2021 2:00pm CST

It can be amazing, how things can change in just a few hours. Last week, before the nursing home changed the rules, for visiting, there is a woman in the nursing home that is called the bird lady. She's always do friendly. My husband said, when she comes out the birds gather in the trees, and she feeds them. He said they never come around until they see her. I thought about our own @CarolDM, who feeds us daily with food, nature, and awesome photos. I have learned one thing from these two, is you have to slow down to enjoy nature. I heard a bird singing the other day, and wondered what kind it was.

Yeah, she had a handkerchief, full of bread crumbs. Then my husband told me they only come close when they see her..This is when I thought about CarolDM.

She is worthy the name "bird lady " ! I can't imagine there are no birds in the world.

Yes there are few people like her who like to do such good things in life. Life is too fast these days and people are so selfish they just think about themselves or get little time to think about the others

Yes, she shares fo much. I like her pace in life, she had time, to stop and smell the Roses.

I wish I had as many birds as she has. I think we could call Carol the bird lady of Mylot.

That is sweet. The thing I truly love about enjoying nature is that it makes me feel as if time actually slows down. Everything just moves in its natural pace and rhythm. There's no rushing to and for anything.

how wonderful the world we live in is how it is possible that nature has these things and that we sometimes let them overlook the complicated cycle of life that we really live in is

You really have to have a slower pace in life to appreciate nature.
