Ice Bird

I found a treasure this morning. I was lifting the wheel barrel up off the hay and I heard a crack* I looked down in the ice and snow and spotted a beak and the head shape of a bird. I lifted the piece of ice up and it had the wings, body and tail of a bird. It was sturdy about 1/2" thick and almost a foot long.

I found this piece of ice and as you can see it looks like a regal bird.

I held the ice up to the sun and saw two willow leaves frozen inside it. I noticed how it had feather like details and a tail.

I wondered if it would sit on a branch so I took it to the backyard and place it on a snowy blue spruce branch. It balanced perfectly and I was able to take the photograph.

Ice Bird Treasure found under the wheel barrel.

This Ice Bird was as beautiful as a precious jewel. I placed it near a log and allowed the water and elements to take their course.

Florence Ends This Chapter

Hello everyone!

 Yes ! Florence is embarking on a new chapter in her life here on Little Utah Farm.




Florence Ends this Chapter on www.LittleUtahFarm.blogspot.com
Florence has climbed up this hill by the fountain !

 I am so happy to announce that Florence has recovered from her leg injury.


 Day by day I let go of worry about whether Florence would be OK.

Worry never solved anything. Some of us I know have turned to  worry because maybe we thought it meant we care. Now we know the best care comes from a balanced mind and body and mindfulness of a state of love, kindness and compassion. 

We provide the care, good healthy food and shelter our animals need to flourish.  We let go of feeling sorry for our animals and replacing that with love and compassion to uplifted the mood of the barnyard daily.

For example, Instead of fretting and imagining the worst, I turned my focus to something positive like how her beautiful red feathers glistened in the sunlight.  I also appreciated how she patiently waited by herself under the rabbit bush while her intelligent cells were knitting and forming new connections in her body. I imagined it all in my mind the desired results.

A few days ago I saw Florence walking on two legs with such balance I had to take a second look to see if that was actually Florence. Indeed it was her. Needles to say I shouted for the joy of it.

I noticed at feeding time she gathered around the serving platters with the others and ate with them. She also roosted with them. This is a sure sign her body was transforming.
  

Hurray for Florence !

What a journey she has had since she came to Little Utah Farm and even before that she was...well...let's say she was like Huckleberry Fin having a free spirited adventurous life.


I thank you for sharing in our joy and visiting Little Utah Farm
