In the Meantime...

This is just a short post to let everyone know I will be taking (or continue to take) an extended break from blogging in order to focus more fully on my health. I hope to be well enough to start writing again in the near future.  In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few more photos from my little bedroom window.

Within the confines of these four walls, my life is at a standstill. Outside, life goes on -- vibrant, beautiful, active and free. It is where I so desperately long to be.

    Wow!!! There really is a lot going on outside your window. What a rich environment! As far as being bedbound goes, you are lucky with such rich views.

    I do hope you get out there to mix with that environment some day soon. xxx : )

    Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics, Laurel. It's like a zoo out there! I'm happy that the animals keep you company, I miss nature so much.

    Hopefully one day we'll be a part of it again.

    Love,

    Although your pictures are beautiful and your wildlife abundant and adorable, I am struck by how very ill you are. And yet you have shared this beauty with all of us. Thank you.

    We are loving you always...

    Lovely photos, Laurel! Thanks for posting.

    It's so obliging of the bunnies to appear just in time for Easter. Happy Easter! :)

    Thanks for sharing these photos. I don't know if I've ever even seen a gopher in real life! I do get a lot of squirrel activity outside my window though. Squirrels like to gather fronds and leaves of all kinds, I've learned.
