Heartbreaking!

This has not been a good week in so many ways.

This female bluebird is a bright spark though. She was 

outside the window a little while ago.

I cleaned out the large birdhouse ready for spring nesting

 and hopes of more bluebird babies this year.

This Saturday morning the news from Europe, especially as broadcast by 

the BBC, and much more in depth than what we are seeing on US news

reports, has stunned us even more. The almost a million refugees arriving

 in Hungary and Poland - Ukrainian mothers and their little children being

 'adopted' by caring people - but they also scared for the future of

 their own countries.

 Ukrainian fathers now 'soldiers' trying to save their own country.

Babies are being born in basements and metro stations. 

Many have nothing but the clothes on their backs or in a backpack

 as they escape the bombing of their much-loved homes.

Hundreds of Indian university students are locked down in hostels without

 food and water for several days now, no way to leave, nowhere to go, and

 being shot at if they venture outside, and it's bitterly cold.

So many more stories, all heartbreaking.

Please pray for these people, and all who are fighting for their lives, their

country and the freedom they so rightly deserve.

Once again the entire world is in danger because of one insane man!

 Yesterday I walked to the neighborhood park.

The sun was bright and very warm.

I knew I was safe, a lucky person, and in a peaceful place.

This blue and yellow reflection in the pond was a message.
