Surrounded by forest and lake. In the mountains. What’s that noise. It’s the birds … awake, active, talking up a storm! At 5:30 in the morning. “Wake up, wake up” they say.

“Start a fire, get the teapot on”

A great idea indeed. Then check out the glittering reflection on the water as the sun rises.

But as the day passes, the birds go about their business … and the silence returns.

Some days are early ones, some not.

Shel Silverstein says it best:
Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early early bird—
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.
