I received gifts!

When I filled the feeders Sunday, I found a marble on an exposed tree root at the end of the yard. I think one of the birds left it
I went over to hang out with my grand dogs and cats. When I got there, one of the kitties made sure I saw a freshly dead mouse. The kitty had a huge smile on her face and looked intently to see if I was pleased.
After I walked the dogs, I sat down to catch my breath. The big dog came to me and dropped a colorful potholder, one of the hand loom kind, in my lap. I don't even know where he got it. I am very happy with this show of affection. Made my day

They were so happy to see you and hang out with you. They are so genuine. I love hanging out with pets and other 4 legged kindred.

I am visualizing snow white surrounded by the birds and animals - so sweet!
