Connie Talbot : Three Little BirdsThis week I was looking at Youtube Videos and came across this very talented little lady named Connie Talbot .  I have no idea why I never heard of her before (feeling kind of foolish here) but now I’m a fan.  I love her rich voice, her youth and I’m not a Music Guru but her voice reminded me of Patsy Cline right away.I always wonder about reincarnation, when I see someone who is so young, singing with an “older” sounding voice.  She’s never had any music lessons and she was one of the final contestants on Simon Cowell’s– Britain’s Got Talent back in 2007, at the age of 6 years old.  Amazing!  Is all that I can say.  I look forward to following her career in the years to come and I adore her musical qualities.It was a beautiful sunny day today and once outside, hiking in the green forest with my family, I really didn’t have any worries.  I didn’t think about any of my bills or the work that needed to be done; instead I just sat back and relaxed for once in my life.We decided to have lunch with a friend, do some shopping at the flea market and feed the ducks, seagulls, swans and geese along the pier.  It was fun!  I tossed bits of bread up and the seagulls were catching them in midair!  I’ve never seen it done before.  I usually toss the bread down towards the water and they swoop, fight and squawk to catch it.  Today I decided to” go outside the box” and toss it up in the air, and I was amazed at the eye co-ordination of these birds as they caught every piece of bread within seconds.  The first snap of the beak, the bread was gone.I originally went to feed the geese and ducks, but I ended up having so much fun with the seagulls that they got most of my bread today.  Actually there were three of us tossing the bread, buns and stale bagels up in the air so it was quite noisy with thirty birds fighting for a bite to eat.This has become a hobby of ours. I was tired of throwing out half a loaf of bread every other week.  Sure I’d put it in the freezer, but after a few months it would get freezer burn.  Now I save up my bread and once the grocery bag is full, I defrost it in the microwave for 1.5 minutes, then we go to the pier and feed the birds.  It would have been nice if I had remembered to bring my camera today.  A video of the seagulls would have been facinating with some funny music (Youtube idea!).  There were loads of people there enjoying the show. The moral of this story wasn’t just, “Three little birds,” it was oodles of birds, bits of bread and lots of laughs!
