Grateful Day #54

Today I am grateful for mockingbirds. One serenaded me this morning when I was taking the trash to the street. He sang for a long time and was quite content to sing and make me happy. Here's a short clip of him singing to me that I captured with my iPhone. Click here.

“Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.

“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy ... but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” From To Kill a Mockingbird.

Hope someone or something serenes you today, too!
