Absolute Magic
We've been away for a few days - staying in a yurt with no electricity, a wood stove to keep warm, and minimal connectivity. It was great to get away from all the craziness in the news and take more basic pleasures in things like staying warm, the exhilaration of being in the woods on a snowy day, and the absolute magic of having tiny Chickadees coming to look you over before grabbing a sunflower seed. One can debate the ethics of feeding but on the other side of the coin, these tiny birds were obviously habituated to people and we felt no further harm would be done with a few treats.
