One of my first memories of childhood is of a blue jay. A blue jay standing on my mom’s head. My mom had this big mass of thick curly blonde hair and there was a blue jay in it.

I remember evergreen trees, chipmunks and squirrels and pine needles on the ground.

It was probably 1989.
My mom always sang to me “Sweet Child of Mine”.

Blue jays and blue skies
blonde hair and blue eyes

A song of love
and innocent wonder
A child in love
 beholding her Mother.
