You will receive

Saffron finches
are native to South America.
They were introduced to the
Hawaiian Islands around 1965.

We've all heard that 
the unexamined life 
is not worth living, but 
consider too that the 
unlived life is not 
worth examining.
Julia Cameron





There is no duty 
we so much underrate as 
the duty of being happy.
By being happy we 
sow anonymous benefits 
upon the world.

    I would love to see the tiny flashes of bright yellow as those finches fly by.

    God promises to supply our needs, not our wants. Love the photos of that gorgeous bird and, of course, Pixie! Blessings, Cloudia!
