Fledglings
Yesterday when we went out the front door, we saw a couple of the baby finches standing on the edge of the nest. We weren’t sure what would happen next – were they just stretching? Were they feeling overcrowded in the nest? Or were they really ready to fly? As we watched, one of them […]
Baby Birds
I went out for a walk early this morning and when I came back to the front door, a bird flew out of the nest as they always do. I realized it had been a couple of days since I had my selfie stick out to take a peek at the progress of the eggs. […]
Superfoods
Today my parents, my brother, and I got to talking about the “superfoods” – those touted to have exceptional nutritional value. Included in the list are avocados, quinoa, coconut oil, blueberries, chia, almonds, and salmon. I thought about this and realized that many of these foods originate in different parts of the world. I wondered […]
Back to the Farm
Last year around Easter time, my parents and I made a trip to my sister’s farm to see the new baby chicks they had received. Since then, we have been wanting to get back up there and see the progress, but it hasn’t worked out. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity. We went to church […]
Rest or Repose
My son and I spent the morning at the zoo today. It was very warm and most of the animals were lying about in the shade, in their pool, or sunning themselves. Only a few were actually moving about, but we still enjoyed watching them. At lunch, my son told me about the workout schedule […]
Eggs in the Nest
About 2 weeks ago, we noticed 2 finches trying desperately to build a nest between our front porch light and the side of the house. They seemed to be having a difficult time and we found more twigs and tall grass on the welcome mat and on the floor rather than in their nesting area. […]
Traveling Weather
After all the graduation celebrations, packing up belongings, and saying goodbye to friends and family, my son and I hit the road for the long drive home. We had originally thought we would take our time and do some sight-seeing along the way. But my son was excited to get to his destination, so we […]
Sun Shine on My Face
The sky was overcast with thick clouds early this morning I was driving to an appointment. I was listening to the Christian radio which I always find uplifting. The song, Beautiful Day by Jamie Grace was being introduced. She said that when she was having a bad day, she would tell her father that this was […]
Petal Dance
When I opened the garage door the other day, I noticed what looked like white confetti all over the floor. As I looked closer, I realized it was petals from the nearby tree that had bloomed. I was able to take a little walk today and took in the signs of Spring. Many trees had […]
Baby Giraffe
This morning I checked social media and saw that April the giraffe was finally actually having her baby. I know people who have been keeping a vigilant watch for weeks now. I was surprised when I heard my mom got up early for no apparent reason. I told her about the giraffe and asked if she […]
