delighted to say after never seeing a siskin before this last few weeks they are regular visitors to my garden now.Wonder if they stay thoughout the summer or will they be leaving me?
I hope they stay Sheila, the two or three that visited our garden last Winter were just passing through and stayed for less than a week, but you may well be luckier. Lovely pics again.
Lovely siskin shots there. I had my first siskins yesterday and just managed to grab the camera and get a couple of photos before a starling landed on the feeder and chased them off. Hope they're back, no sign of them today.
For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
