The Downy Woodpeckers are Back

Actually many birds are coming back since 
I started regularly feeding them.
The birds have changed over the years.
Some are here whether I feed them or not.
Since supplying a variety of seed and suet,
most of those lost have returned. One prime example is the Downy woodpecker.
I see them regularly once again. The chickadees are also back consistently.
I have yet to see the red-breasted nuthatch.
I have my hope that by winter I will see some.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
