For the Birds....

   
   Here in Northern Minnesota, things run at a frantic pace during the summer months. Long before the snow has left the darkest parts of the woods, the buttercups are already in full bloom. There isn't much time to get everything done. 
   The deer have their young early in the year and by the time of the next snow, they can easily fend for themselves.
   Colors play a large part in Northern Minnesota. The birds that spend their summers here are sometimes unbelievably colorful. They have to arrive from the south, stake out courting areas, build nests, mate, lay eggs and fledge their young in a relatively short time. Before you know it, time has passed and they head south again to avoid our harsh winters.
   It's now getting towards the middle of June and the leaves on the maple trees are just getting their full size. In about three months they will change color and fall to the ground. Such a short life for something so beautiful.
   But for today, let's all get outside and fill up our senses with the sounds, smells and sights that will carry us through the next hard winter that could be in a little over four months.
   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book, "Brothers by Fire" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day. 

   Stop in once in a while. I'll try to write something new and informative about my book Brothers by Fire.
Good Reading,
