Anniversaries, Birds

My father died 15 years ago today, and today would have been my father-in-law's 90th birthday. Two weeks from today, my mom will have been gone two years. I'm the one in the family who remembers dates, which sometimes is a dubious talent.

Wondering where I was going to go with this post, other than noting the day, I looked up and saw four finches on one of our back porch columns. It's one of those columns that has a hollow place at the top, and birds discover this place and make their nests there or just "hang out" together. I think this group was pausing in their daily efforts. But watching them brightened my morning and, I anticipate, the whole day.
