Found a little good luck today. #fourleafclover
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
This Black-chinned Hummingbird was the first to appear at my feeder and for the last month I've watched him swoop in again and again. #birdwatching
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Isn't he beautiful? This Calliope Hummingbird buzzed around me as I worked with my plants this afternoon. Rather than one or two large feeders, I prefer to hang a lot of small feeders and clean and refill them daily. The nectar stays fresh and the tiny bi
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Oh, my bleeding heart.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
We took a Sunday drive through the Palouse and spent the afternoon hiking at #palousefalls. Life in the NW does have its rewards.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
I took my little best friend to #northlandrosarium and after buying a favorite old rose we shared a picnic lunch in a shady corner. It was a very good day. ❤️
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Hello, Sweet Pea. I can't wait to get you in the garden. ❤️
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
The Napping House.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Like the river, my spring fever keeps rising. So today I opened the season with a box of happy from Judy's Enchanted Garden. #flowerpower

"Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul..." I thought of Emily Dickinson's words as I sat at the table eating oatmeal, watching the fog lift and the rain fall. Suddenly this little Goldfinch joined me, showing just a hint of his bright
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
This little bit of @floretflower sunshine arrived in the middle of yesterday's March snowstorm giving me a little hope that winter can't last forever. So ready to grow things. ☀️
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
While I ate my oatmeal, this morning's window show was a flock of House Finches ignoring the snow and feasting on sunflower seeds. It was a lovely way to start a wintry day.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Our Thanksgiving holiday was wonderful and I'm grateful everyone was home, but I'm already counting the days until we're together again.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Yesterday we were all together around the Thanksgiving table. Today the original girl came along to help us choose our Christmas Tree. These are happy days. ❤️
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
This has been the most beautiful autumn I've ever experienced in #Spokane. The season lingered long enough to allow me to gather one more basket of late-blooming roses for tomorrow's Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
I had pleasant company in the Hawthorn tree this morning. This Downy Woodpecker worked on his side of the window, close enough to touch if the glass hadn't been there, and I worked on mine. What a beautiful way to start the holiday week. #birdsofinstagram
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Today the original girl and I walked to the bluff to get some fresh air. As we walked and talked the overcast November sky suddenly opened and the setting sun painted the clouds with fire. Without saying a word she let go of my hand and stepped forward, a

The #birds know only that I offer them food and shelter. They have no idea what they give me in return. #birdwatcher

With my girl and striking the right pose for Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. #familynightout
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
It's 3:30 a.m. and my post-election, Trump-induced, sad-state-of-the-nation insomnia has turned me into a night owl.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Pantsuit and power arms. That how we roll the vote. #hillaryclinton
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
She probably thinks of the weeks spent here in Spokane, between her overseas work assignments, as killing time. To us, it's the gift of time. We're grateful for every hour spent with this beautiful girl of ours.

"Somehow it has all added up to song-- earth, air, rain and light, the labor and the heat, the mortality of the young. I will go free of other singing, I will go into the silence of my songs, to hear this song clearly." ~ A Song Sparrow Singing in t

Watch the sunrise with Inga. #catsofinstagram
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Please tell me this has happened to you: I finally got around to hanging family photos in the new house and I had to stop because my eyes were so full of tears I couldn't see see what I was doing. #WhereDidTheYearsGo?
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Sweet dreams, Baby B.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
For a moment, everything was about this little wren and the angels in the garden. #bird
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
This week's #treasurehunting trophy is a beautiful brown transferware platter with a lovely wild rose design. I paid the $3.99 and danced out the door.
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
To be fair, every month has its gifts. But there is nothing to compare to October at its most beautiful. #Autumn
Cheryl-Anne Millsap:
Good morning, bright eyes.
