the start of a good day

This is the common behind our house.  Not immediately behind - 5 minutes walk at most.  It's just gone half seven when I take this.

I love it here - skylarks, swallows, egrets (1), plenty of SBBs (Anniemay's term for small brown birds) and the big big sky.  

Anniemay surprised me this morning with a home made card and pair of AirPods (wireless earphones for my computer/phone).  They are quite amazing sound-wise and very comfortable.  

She has the case inscribed with an appropriate birthday greeting.  Not like the woman we see on the news, who, when invited to add a message, had her case inscribed 'if out please leave at back of house'.
