| Backyard Grackles, Fall 2025 |
There hasn't been enough rain in my hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. Hardly any.
So when my mother empties her watering can into the birdbath, birds gather and spend several moments getting a drink. Just that small amount makes all the difference.
No one needs to remind birds to drink when they are thirsty. They don't forget and they don't put it off. They don't try to get one more thing accomplished. Backyard birds are good teachers in that way.
May we learn to recognize our thirst, our true thirst.
May we discover small pools of refreshment.
May we see that there is enough to share.
