A Baby Sparrow Caught in the Rain: A Tender Backyard Moment

Nature has a way of surprising us with moments that are both tender and unforgettable. One rainy afternoon, I looked out at the bird feeder and noticed something that stopped me in my tracks—a tiny baby sparrow, caught in the rain.

Its feathers were damp, its small body puffed up for warmth, and yet there it was—perched bravely, waiting out the shower. There was something so moving about watching such a fragile little creature face the elements with quiet resilience.

The sight reminded me just how much beauty can be found in the simplest of moments. A raindrop glistening on soft feathers. The way the sparrow shook itself gently after each gust of wind. And the comforting thought that, even in the rain, nature provides shelter and renewal.

I couldn’t resist capturing this on video for my YouTube channel, because it’s the kind of moment you’ll want to see for yourself. It’s peaceful, heartwarming, and a reminder of how strong even the smallest lives can be.

Chipmunks at My Bird Feeder: A Backyard Delight

There’s something truly magical about watching wildlife right outside your window. Birds, squirrels, and even the occasional rabbit can turn an ordinary day into a little moment of joy. But lately, it’s been the chipmunks at my bird feeder that have completely stolen the show.

These tiny, energetic creatures are endlessly entertaining—stuffing their cheeks with seeds, darting back and forth, and sometimes even sharing space with the birds (though not always peacefully!). They bring so much personality and life to the yard that I just had to capture the moment on video.

👉 Check out my YouTube video below

In the video, you’ll see:

Cheek-stuffing cuteness: Chipmunks can pack away an impressive amount of seeds, and it’s hilarious to watch.
Playful antics: Their quick movements and curious personalities make them such fun backyard visitors.
Nature’s calm escape: If you love relaxing wildlife videos, this one is sure to make you smile.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a bird watcher, or just someone who needs a cheerful moment in your day, these little chipmunks will brighten it.

Worx battery powered lawn mower review.

I’m doing the last mow of the season and wanted to review my trusty lawn mower. This is my second Worx mower, the first one I had for years. It used an older model battery and was discontinued when I needed a new mower. I bought this mower in 2021 and it’s still going strong. mowing season is April-September. We have woods behind the house, so to prevent tics, we mow weekly. So 4 seasons I’ve been using this beast.

Light weight and folds over-I have to lift it out of my shed. The weight makes it easier

2 batteries that are compatible with all other worxs power share tools

Turbo mode to go over thicker grass

The mower height is adjustable

Long battery life-I can do the back and front on one charge

If you’re in the market for a new mower, then check out the Worx

Outdoor decor

Fall is here and I’m ready to add a few things to my yard. A nice retreat will have colorful things to look at, a nice seating area and lighting. I got these artificial flowers at the start of summer and they have not faded. They add a little bit of color when things are not in bloom. I’ve added a few ideas. *affiliate links earn commission
