This is a season of fruits in or garden !
The garden is silent with birds having moved out recently after the rubber trees next to our garden were cut.The noise of the electric saw and the felling of the trees, seem to have disturbed them, Our bird feeding station which was a place of activity most of the day with different birds coming for feeding and bathing is now deleted.
The silence of the garden is a strange experience.
I spotted a Bulbul yesterday in the courtyard looking around but not restfully. It did not visit the feeding station.
It is a stressful experience for birds when the familiar trees which were their flight stations are no more there. I suppose it might be a long wait before birds return.
In the mean time we will turn our attention to feel grateful for other delightful signs and experiences in the garden!
We felt good that we were able to gift our neighbour all the banana bunches which will ripen hopefully on time for their daughter's wedding this week end.
It is a mixed feeling as we begin another week!
We look at the yield in the garden and feel grateful. We miss the birds who used to visit us, to delight us with their colourful presence and tuneful bird calls
The experience of gain and loss !
The new flowers bring consolation till we wait for bird arrivals in the garden !
