Colorful Birds and a Brilliant Bonfire

Lon hung a birdfeeder outside the window where I usually sit with my laptop. See it there, above and to the right of the vase of flowers? It draws mostly finches and whenever I look up from my computer, I'll see at least one and often two, three or four of them in gray, red and yellow colors.

The grayish brown finch here has a seed in its bill.

I especially like the vibrant yellow finches. The yellow is so bright that it fascinates me every time I see it.

I enjoy the pretty red feathered finches too.

Yesterday, my brother John and sister-in-law Phyllis invited us to their home on the river for an evening bonfire.

The view of the river, the fire, the fine weather and the company couldn't have been better.

I took a long bike ride this morning. I'm feeling lazy at the moment so I'll finish this post without further ado.

Y'all have yourselves a Happy 4th, ya hear?
