New Year Omen

And I thought my New Year's Day would be gloriously sunny and a great omen for the coming months.
But a Shadow was cast upon this golden morning.
With the sun comes the birds. With the birds comes a meal. . . .for the cat (Shadow)
Sitting at the dining room table enjoying some reading I hear her meow in a strange muffled voice. She won’t shut up. I can barely see her in the family room. I get up and follow her meow.
I have not moved one single thing in this photo. Yes there is a dish of un-eaten cat food in the corner. Behind it is a furry play mouse.
But there in front of Shadow is the real thing. She brought me a finch.
Sigh. Happy New Year MOM!
