Fair Wind or Fowl?

You know how animals like to get out of the rain?

Well, not MY chickens!!

They decided to congregate on the picnic table,

and enjoy the storm. 

I guess thunder and lightening

is no cause for concern for 

my feathered friends.

Super Moon

Not exactly what I expected,

I thought it was going to be super huge!

It was still pretty none the less.

My Little Visitor

This little wren has been eluding me

for several days. He sits on the

shepherds hook outside my

living room window.

But everytime I grab my camera,

he's gone before I get to him.

Hearing him singing outside the window,

I sneak up with my camera, 

and wait for the little guy to appear.

Instead of landing on the shepherd hook,

he landed right in front of me,

providing the perfect shot. 

He even sang to me. 

I'm in seventh Heaven!

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him all creatures here below.

Praise Him above ye Heavenly Host;

 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Just Another Lazy Day in a Cats Life

Marti's Prayer Garden

 I have finished Marti's garden and would like to share it with you.

I chose to place her garden in front of my swing, where I sit several times

a day for prayer and meditation.

The stone above was painted by her, 

and was a perfect addition .

It's the same verse I start every prayer with, so it was

fitting to be here.

 She loved chocolate chip cookies,

so how perfect when I found this plant

called "Chocolate Chip"!

 It looks sort of sparse, but will fill in nicely 

with summers help.

 Marti loved St. Francis.

So his statue was fitting.

Behind him, on the twig trellis I made,

is Indian Feather Butterfly plant.

Indian Feather for our heritage,

and butterflies as they are a very

significant symbol of the

resurrection in our family.

The garden is filled in with Dusty Miller,

(Miller is our maiden name)

Lupine and lavender which she loved,

foxglove, another favorite,

and her infamous Hens and Chicks.

 She and I have a love of hummingbirds,

so I place the feeder by the garden.

It only took a few minutes, 

and I had a mating pair!

Awesome!!
