Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Dear Friends,

I am blessed to live here in what I call "God's Neighborhood". There is always something new to see around here. Check out my new neighborhood discoveries this week....
The raspberries are almost ready!
Mom gives baby squirrel a little grooming session ...

The roses sprout "babies" every day... they are just as "blinding" in real life too!

Mama hens bring the babies by for a visit...

A squirrel convention? No, they just know Steve's gone! I'm the softie that lets them hang on the birdfeeder....
The baby bluebirds have gone out to meet the world, and we missed their goodbye, but our eyes are peeled for the next brood to come. I love my "neighborhood" and all the surprises it brings on a daily basis. It is peaceful to my soul to walk out on the deck and hear a cacophony of birds singing, chittering squirrels, the pool sprayer, the fountain trickling, the finely tuned wind chimes softly ringing, and my girls, saying, "mom, when's lunch?" I will also look forward to the sound of crunching gravel in the driveway, as Steve returns home safely from a business trip tonight.
I hope the sounds you hear and the beauty you see bring peace to your soul. Sometimes God gets our attention with a breeze, a feather, a visit from a special bird, tires in the driveway,or a laugh while watching squirrels play. He's got my attention for sure!
Be blessed by Him today!
Love,
Nature Girl

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
