Love Birds Songs I love birds. Always have. And love birds songs. Love those, too. All the beautiful colors, the rustling of the wings, and certainly their ability to fly. Wow! Birds are amazing, sparkling creatures. God makes cool stuff. Love birds, songs, candy, romance. Huh? How did Valentine’s Day get to be a thing?

Can you “make” new year resolutions? In January of this year (2018) I decided to keep my streak going of not making new year resolutions.
