We're at our little cabin in the woods for a couple of days. We need the rest and relaxation after very hectic times with Wynsen's mother. She is really weaning away. She weighs only 36 kgs and refuses help, proper foods and drinks. She has a form of dementia. Trouble is that the Wynsen's brother does not see eye to eye with the help his sister and us try to give her. He fights us every step of the way. And while it is already difficult enough to see his mum in the state she is, agressive, in denial and afraid of loosing her cognitive abilities; -there's also this terrible atmosphere of fight. Wynsen now tries to avoid confrontation and even though he has to renounce his own views on the matter, he rather does that for keeping the peace.

So we are happy to have our hideaway in the woods here. And I'm really getting my peace and we're really "seeing'' each other again.
And boy, do I love my birdfeeder. Imagine this is the second time this week I replenished the bird food! There are so many birds feeding on it, you can't imagine! Sometimes as much as 10+ birds are happily munching away at the same time. Well, there are the occasional fights and some birds retreat to wait for their turn. But it's such a joy to watch. I can see them from the little window above the sink, hiding myself behind the shutters. I lean on my elbows, not minding they get wet from the water left there. I can watch them for ages. And today I just had to take the camera and take a shot.

Enjoy!

Have a wonderful, sunfilled day
