Words cannot describe the thrill of hearing this bird's song
as I drive the country roads, searching for barns.
I have been very busy these past few days,
planting, organizing, painting, repurposing.
I will be responding to comments
as soon as I can.
But, it's another gorgeous
Spring day in eastern Nebraska,
so I will likely be outside, doing what a farmwife
is wont to do when the weather is cooperating.
Happy Friday, my friends!

Good for you dear Nancy! Spring is for being out : )
ReplyDeleteI am a terrible blogger lately. But yes. Too many other things to do and although Spring takes it really slowly here, there are things to be done. Have fun, love from Norway <3

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I'm jealous...I want to drive the country roads too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I love you added the sound. Such a fun thing to wake up to this morning.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I'm sure the life of a farmwife is also a hard one, but is sure looks like a lovely one.
ReplyDeleteHaven't the days been beautiful around here...I'm looking forward to getting out in the garden.
I like this new header ~
Good Morning, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteNeat pic and cool sound!
Beautiful photo. And yes, the meadowlark's song is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSpring time calls us outside, uh? Beautiful bird and long their song....
ReplyDeleteThat bird is playing one of my favorite springtime hits! well done.
ReplyDeleteReading posts and comments, is like hearing a bird's song.
ReplyDeleteIt is thrilling.
have a great weekend in Nebraska!
ReplyDeleteCalling by as another Friday Fences participant, an interesting composition.
ReplyDeleteI used to see meadowlarks when I was a child - haven't seen or heard one in years. Thanks, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteReally nice composition. Thanks for including the recording of its voice. I know I've heard this before but seeing how small it is here, I'll bet it's one of the birds I rarely see because of all the leaves.
ReplyDeletewhat a tiny little bird. so cute. love the view. (:
ReplyDeleteI loved the bird recording!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared this. I just took a picture of a bird that looked exactly like that and wondered what it was! Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely shot, Nancy :)

ReplyDeleteI always get uber excited when a wild bird lands on my frontyard's fence...Especially if they start singing! I always take pictures of them. Removal Company
ReplyDeleteNice capture...this bird will wake you up for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe always have so many birds singing at the same time... it's a choir on any given day. Love the meadowlark's lovely trill.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being outside Nancy, we had a pretty day yesterday until the evening when the rain and thunderstorms hit again. I like to sit outside and let my little dog enjoy the fresh air and get some exercise. I love to also sit outside or inside and hear all the birds sing. I tried a birdfeeder for awhile until the cattle decided to bang it around getting to the birdseed. lol. So down it came. Have a great day! Love and Blessings!
ReplyDeletei love these skittish prairie-loving birds. :) enjoy your spring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the greenery behind it! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the green grass...and you out planting etc etc...can hardly wait...hopefully we can start clean up in our yard...it is still brown brown brown!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tiny little bird! Thanks for adding his song :) have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day and all the outside pleasure!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite birds! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteWas just north of you a bit yesterday, went to the Old Home Keep On Truckin Cafe. This bird was one of my first to imitate its call and always greets me when out on the prairie.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Friday Nancy!!
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture :)
ReplyDeleteThe Western Meadowlark is Oregon's state bird, but I don't see --or hear--so many of them these days. On a drive in the country a while back, I did find one, which was exciting. Now to see if I can get a photograph.
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me want to get out and go for a drive :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
The photo with the sound of the bird calling makes for a quick and delightful post.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful, the photo and bird song!
ReplyDeleteenjoy your time outdoors...we've had rain today here in Texas
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, and I think I may just listen to that bird all day, ahhh! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I would recognize its song. Shame on me!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to you too! Love you bird photo and listening to it singing as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with Foto Friday!

I know what you mean, the days are just not long enough for all we want/need to accomplish!! Sounds like the weekend will be cooperating and my soar muscles haven't recovered yet! Btw, the meadowlark's song has to be my all time favorite sound!!
ReplyDeletethat sweetie has the best seat in the house :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, we're expecting snow on Sunday! Go figure...?
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful days in the 70's and now snow is coming again on Monday. Sigh. Hope the birdies can stay warm :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful warm weekend. sandie

ReplyDeletei am dying for a rain day, so i can get some inside things done ;))
ReplyDeletelike paying bills amd picking up. i am tripping over all the things on my to-do-list!!
i forgot to say, don't work too hard!! i can only focus on one thought at a time!! xo
ReplyDeleteIf I lived on a farm I would spend every minute I could enjoying the great outdoors. Love your sweet photo..
ReplyDeleteHugs~
He looks smaller than our Western Meadowlark, but I agree, nothing makes me happier of all the sounds in nature than hearing him sing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting outside to do the things you enjoy! Love the meadowlark!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the song of the meadowlark! Enjoy being outdoors on these lovely Spring days! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're playing in the dirt and listening to birdsong, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteRainy here, but a good day nonetheless- Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteQuite the cutie you captured there.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to get photos of larks, but they're rather shy. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this bird but don't think I have ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Century Farm. I have a sister who lives in Omaha and a niece who just got a job there and will be moving there soon. We visit a lot and will be back in two weeks.
haha....Laurie (my parrot) enjoyed it too. She started singing when I played your audio clip.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME...lucky YOU!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteAWESOME...lucky YOU!...:)JP
