I have a new friend...........

Every day, while I am stitching away in my shop,

this road runner comes up to the screen door, 

looks in and makes it's drilling sound. I step out to say hello and it  hurries away.......

but only just a few feet from me.

While I am tending to the chickens.......it sits on the bed of my husbands old truck and 

fluffs it's feathers to catch the heat and to ward off the early morning chill. 

It doesn't mind if I get close to take a photo

or two............ I tell it how very pretty it is

and how pretty it's head feathers look

and it stretches out on the beam of the truck bed as if to impress me more

I am always in awe of the wonderful wild visitors that seem so friendly...........as I walk the grounds of our prairie home.

I hope this feathered friend stays safe and warm as the cold winter days close in.

And the same wish goes out to you.......

stay safe and warm!
