At one point there were a dozen Goldfinches at the feeders this morning – now that’s a Charm of Goldfinches!
I could only get 8 or 9 in the photo.
We have a delightful kinetic sculpture of a pair of swallows, a little drippy but otherwise unaffected by the hoolies today. 
This poem came my way today and I thought you, Dear Reader, might like it too.

Love the idea of a daily poem from Rosemary. I signed up at her blog. Thanks for the info.

I absolutely love Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer! I have a mindfulness app on my phone called “Ritual,” and on the app every day she reads one of her poems and tells the story behind it. In case you don’t know, she blogs here on WordPress at A Hundred Falling Veils (ahundredfallingveils.com) I recently commented on one of her poems and received a lovely response in return.

Thank you so much for this. I came across that poem by accident and then looked her up, liking what I read and thinking I need to find more. I shall find her blog and the app. They both sound like things I’ll enjoy. Thank you again for all this info. 😊

You are quite welcome. She writes a new poem every day and has done so for years. She also has published several books of her poetry.
