On Wednesday night, I was in Philadelphia and took On Wednesday night, I was in Philadelphia and took a walk through Rittenhouse Square. This gentleman had a bag with peanuts and walnuts and was feeding the squirrels and birds. I didn’t capture his face here to protect his privacy, but the smile he had while spending time in the park on such a beautiful night was priceless. Such a simple and beautiful moment to behold. 🥰🐦 #lifeisgood #whatawonderfulworld #littlethings #rittenhousesquare #philly #writer #writerlife #writersofinstagram #author #authorlife #authorsofinstagram

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
