Yesterday I listened to the happiest mockingbird in creation. Perched on a limb in a spring time maple tree, he cast a spell on his audience below. We listened to song after song until he wearied of all the applause and left the stage. In a few moments he came back for a curtain call and once again was greeted with applause.

Enchanted by the musical ability of this particular bird, I and a friend sat beneath the tree for a half hour and absorbed every note he sang. He had to have realized that he had an enthralled audience for he performed as if it were a command performance for the queen!

To those of us who’ve spent early evenings mesmerized by astoundingly beautiful purple and gold sunsets over Apalachicola Bay in Northwest Florida, the drought in Georgia and Alabama is becoming a personal matter. Even though I live 400 miles from this blissful bay between Apalachicola and St. George Island, I dream that some day I’ll be a resident of the area and fish to my heart’s content! I hope the bay will continue to be the wonderful place it now.
