A VERY SPECIAL HOMECOMING...

Clair Lynch says in best in this beautiful song of praise to our Creator...

There's a swing on the backporch where I sit in the morning, When the sun is slowly rising with a Bible on my knee At the last swallow of coffee, I'll just sit there in your presence for a while, let your spirit come and move all over me

Thank you Lord for everything you've given me, you've provided every need both big and small More than all of the blessings that you pour out everyday, you're presence is my favorite gift of all

Sometimes late at nite when the kids (& Darby) are asleep I'll go out in the yard and just listen to the night And I can feel you Holy Spirit as a Whipporwill leads nature in a Praise song and every critter in the forest seems to cry out

Thank you Lord, for everything you've given me You've provided every need both big and small, More than all of the blessings that you pour out everyday, Your presence is my favorite gift of all.

Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you may be missing the joke of the century.

Who knows if the moon's
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
in the sky - filled with pretty people?

ANOTHER GIFT...

Gimme a long neck???





I can't help but think of this guy as the "old man" of the bird kingdom, he looks so prehistoric...




Another exciting visit...this time from the Blue Heron...he visits from time-to-time...don't know if he's passing thru or a "local"...I'll continue to watch for him, would love to get a clearer pic...

A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE...

Earlier today as I was driving to town, I saw the on-coming traffic had stopped, crossing the highway was mother skunk and her 6 babies, 5 of whom were sticking close to mom...#6 took his own sweet time catching up, and eventually joined his sibs and a very anxious mom. This was such a delightful and charming site but then I saw the faces of all who had witnessed this parade, we had all clearly enjoyed our little and relatively safe encounter with these cute but highly- feared varmints!

Native Americans (see 5/20 post#2) might suggest that since this event happened directly in front of me, in such an odd place (major highway) and time (skunks are nocturnal) as well as it being my first time to ever see a skunk family that perhaps the skunk is another one of my totem animals!! First the crow, now skunks. I won't attempt a guess at what may come next! Click on screen and enjoy a little Pepe Le Pew...I guess I'll go do some reading...

WISDOM...

REFLECTIONSThe world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it in turn will look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly, kind companion.
