Word of the Day:  Birling  (noun) – A game played by Lumberjacks (or limber birds) in which each tries to balance longest on a floating log while rotating the log with the feet.

Ben had the advantage of  Pinwheel feet but the other birds were unaware!

May you find balance while rotating life’s challenges!

Happy Creating!  🙂

    That’s so funny and adorable. The colors really pop. I also like the movement. That’s something I need to practise.

    I’ve watched birling contests before (didn’t know or remember that that’s what they’re called). Your birling birds are too cute!
