Silly Blue birds ...

Just then the branches lightly stirred…

See, out o' the apple boughs a bird

Bursts music-mad into the blue abyss...

Our Song/Rhyme this Fortnight was selected by Nan

The Birds' Bath

By Evaleen Stein

In our garden we have made

Such a pretty little pool,

Lined with pebbles neatly laid,

Filled with water clean and cool.

When the sun shines warm and high

Robins cluster round its brink,

Never one comes flying by

But will flutter down to drink.

Then they splash and splash and splash,

Spattering little showers bright

All around, till off they flash

Singing sweetly their delight.

Such a sweet poem and it makes me think of all sort of fun antics the birds might be up to while socializing and bathing so I opted for a really cute image from out sponsor called silly birds. These just make me smile!

I do like to use sketches so for this one I chose the Mojo Monday Sketch #3. I find that when I use sketch I am more likely to use my design papers!
