The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sang the best.”
― John James Audubon
This birdhouse will be sailing for Australia tomorrow morning and is dedicated to my cousin Paul. I had made a promise to him that I would send him a painting of a birdhouse and that in return he would build it for me! Today the woods in Rigaud were filled with the chirping of birds, the crooning of baby raccoons, a lone owl, crazy baby chipmunks running after each other and making tons of noise. Pyper, my dog, was on the alert!
Cette peinture de cabane d’oiseaux s’envole pour l’Australie pour rejoindre mon cousin Paul et en échange, il va me la construire de ses propres mains. Bon échange! Aujourd’hui la forêt était pleine de sons d’oiseaux, le murmure de bébés ratons laveurs, un hibou solitaire, des bébés suisses qui se couraient après à toute vitesse en faisant beaucoup de bruit. Pyper, mon chien, était sur l’alerte!
