From Her Window



The sweet little lady that lives across the street can not walk and is in her wheelchair everyday, looking out of her window, watching the birds. Her husband died recently and I have taken it upon myself to fill up her birds feeders every week.  Her world is limited to what she can see from her window.  She has sitters that take care of her rotating  12 hour shifts.



Her son came over this morning while I was randomly throwing "weed and feed" in the front yard. He told me my dear neighbor will be going to an assisted living home in two weeks.

I have decided to search online for a simple bird pattern to make a small  lap quilt for her to use when they take her outside, etc.  There are other quilt "projects" out there, but they are close to be completeSo.... that's my new project.

Your sweet...My dad loved birds and since he was disabled he would sit in his chair and watch the bird feeder....mom always filled it up everyday...when she got sick her neighbor would fill up the feeder too. When we were down there she kept filling it...even today she fills it...she told the My Aunt that it reminded her of my mom, so she fills it every day even tho mom is in the Nursing home.

Your heart is so big, and you are such a thoughtful person. It would be a honor to have you as a neighbor.

Cin, you are one of a kind. My choice for running mate was a wise one. You'll bring kindness and compassion to the office of Vice Poobah

How nice of you, Cindy! What a great idea. And you never know, but she may have a window in her room at her new residence, where a simple window bird feeder could be hung. Or the facility itself could have a feeder somewhere.

You have such a heart of compassion. One day I would love to meet you in person. If you are ever in Hawaii, look me up. You're a gem! Kelli
