It’s been a hot, dreary, rainy, thunder stormy day today on the river… so I’m reflecting on the visions of a sunny day as I watch the rain outside of my desk window…

I took an old chair and placed it my front garden to create a bird station. The chair is visible from my desk and gives me hours of pleasure watching the birds. My cats both love it too, as they sit in the windows watching the birds come an go. Yesterday, Pandora spent most of the day at one end or the other of my desk watching birds and chipmunks at the feeder:
To create the bird station I tied a small bird house on the back of the chair with jute, and then laid large strips of bark from an old stump on the seat area of the chair (the caning was gone) and tied a pagoda shaped birdhouse onto the seat. I also added some bare branches for perches for the birds. On the large rocks in my garden I placed large shallow oval aluminum container that I weighted down with small rocks from the garden and filled it with water – it makes a fabulous bird bath!
I use songbird blend bird feed. The birds love it…

One of the things I love about where I live on the Merrimack River is that I have a wonderful view of the western sky in the evening. After a couple of days of rain, the clouds started to part early this evening and I looked out of my kitchen window to see a streak of pink across the sky. I grabbed my camera and took this from desk window:
And then I headed out the front door to catch a little view of the lovely sky with my lens… (more…)

I love living on the Merrimack River. As a small child I grew up in West Newbury on Way To The River Rd. The river was a short walk through the woods, down the dirt road that started at our driveway. At age 11, we moved to Moseley Ave in Newburyport, again a short walk from the river. The Merrimack River is in my blood, as is this whole area.
Everyday I look out from my desk and see the river. A short walk down the street and the view, more spectacular… 
I love living on the river…
