Description
Of all the birds in the garden, only one refused to fly south. She was small and yellow as a lemon, and she chose the handle of the snowman’s broom as her winter perch. Each morning she sang a few notes, and the snowman, who had no voice of his own, listened with a patient smile. The family watched them from the kitchen window and named them Monsieur Neige and Citron.
This box holds their unlikely friendship, a spot of sunshine against the snow. It is a sweet gift for a birdwatcher, a friend going through a long winter of their own, or anyone who needs reminding that brightness can be found in cold seasons. Set it on a kitchen windowsill facing the garden, or beside a feeder-shaped planter where real birds might come to visit. It also works beautifully in a spring display, because the yellow bird keeps it from feeling too wintry.
