Starlings

This morning a school of hundreds of starlings swarmed over our backyard. They were only there for a few minutes, then flew off. They move as one. The individual bird is just a cell in the swarming mass.

a Deer, a female Deer



Mom and I got to watch four deer in our own backyard this evening. I took some lousy pictures of them.


Earlier I spotted a pair of bluejays and a pair of hummingbirds. Also a grey tiger cat with four white boots.


Amen.

Fairies


Mom walked out to the mailbox and said, when she got back to the house,"There's a fairy circle out there."

If you look up fairy circles, pixie rings, or the like you'll find they're a circle of mushrooms or toadstools and the grass in the middle is dying.

Yep, we had us a downright magical happening place right in our own front yard. Amazing!

But the only evidence I have that fairies live here are the two Democratic political signs that popped up right after the circle formed.

Girls


It seems to me God has taken great care and delight in creating women. Or am I mistaken?
