From the time I was a child I loved to explore nature. It seems so strange to me now to think of my children roaming about through wooded areas unattended. I don’t know how different the times were, but we definitely lived in a time where we felt safer as a society. Mother’s felt comfortable letting their children be children. Sometimes I wonder how far … Continue reading The Unexpected
Let me introduce some of our less frequent visitors. Starting at the top we have our American Gold Finch. This poor little guy is missing an eye and has some war wounds. I am glad he managed to survive. I am pretty sure he is a new addition to the birds that visit, though I have seen other Gold Finches before. Next up is a … Continue reading Little Joys

Now they are one of my favorite birds. This morning I woke, curled up on the couch with my coffee and started my bible study. I couldn’t help but be … Continue reading Chickadee
Please bear with me as I navigate through this, new for me, world of blogging. I am starting this blog with very little knowledge of all things computer and programming. Hopefully, it is a quick learning curve and I will astound everyone, including myself, with my evolution. Ha! So, why would I want to start a blog if I am “like a fish out of … Continue reading Hello World!
