It's chilly outside today but it isn't raining so I am happy about that. Yesterday the weather was terrible... Rained all day and rained hard. Several of my hanging baskets came down.. Too heavy for the iron hanging posts- as the ground was saturated and became soft and they fell over.
When it warms up, I should be able to work the soil around the flag pole pretty easily and get it weeded and replanted. So that is a good thing.
The little sparrows seemed to survive yesterdays rains just fine... They are nearly completely feathered. How amazing it is to watch them grow... Not sure how long it will be before they fledge the nest... But two weeks tops, I bet...
There were several dead baby birds around the garden this morning... Possibly blown from their nests up high in the trees.... :(
The wrens in the front yard had a little upset last night... The fern became to heavy for the post and it was all about to fall over so I moved the fern.... Mama seemed afraid or skeptical of the change and I didn't know whether she would return... But she is there this morning... Birds... I guess their instincts are strong.
These pretzels are for a friend's son's graduation party today. By accident instead of dark chocolate I bought dark chocolate mint. My mistake turned out pretty yummy. My son just came in and asked if I put mint in the chocolate... Because he tried one and it tasted really good! :)
Things aren't perfect. Life is hard some days but even in our trials we can find blessings- I need to remember that- and be happy.
Watching the birds today, after yesterdays wet, wet day. They are flying around- doing their thing... Troubles forgotten, moving on, accepting the new day, whatever it brings with a song of joy.
God is so good and being joyful is the best way to give Him thanks and praise and share His message of love.
