My neighbor's kid said something about the finches that stuck with me
I was out on my porch around 6am the other week, just watching the usual crowd at my feeder. A little girl from next door came over and asked what I was doing, and I told her I was just watching the finches start their day. She looked at them for a minute and then said real quiet, "They don't seem worried about anything, do they?" I laughed at first, but then I thought about it later that night. I've been getting up before dawn for years now, and she was right. They just go about their business, chirping and eating, no stress about yesterday or tomorrow. It made me wonder when I stopped seeing them that way, you know? Has anyone else had a kid say something that made you look at the birds different? I'm still thinking about it every morning now.
