Day 1465: My little titmouse


Perky little titmice are so quick that it took many tries to get this shot.  They zip in to a feeder, pick up a seed and take off instantly to crack it on a tree branch.  They arrive in pairs around 10:00 am along with the blue jays, especially when it's sunny.  I so enjoy watching them.
Years ago, I had a colleague, an art teacher, who also loved titmice.  As a term of endearment, she always called her favored students her "little titmice."  At the time, I had never seen the birds, but now it seems a sweet thing to say to a cherished child.  I'm sure the kids thought it was weird, though, 

We talked a lot about the concluding chapter as we drove in to the retinologist's office again.  I want to keep it short, reflective and future-oriented.  Eight days left to meet my goal!
