Happy Sabbath
I am enjoying a comfortable sunny Sabbath day at home with my son...some where around the house but here nonetheless. He's a bit too quiet, that's suspicious. Let me check on him and I'll come back....
He was watching Superbook. I don't trust a quiet house with children. Anyway, God is good. I had a good and productive week. I paid some bills, ordered some things on Amazon which should be on their way in the coming weeks and am enjoying my time home with my son. I had a nice talk with him the other day when he got back and I am working to improve how things are around my home. We need more time together and when it is time for me to return to my former routine, I want the new agreements to stay in place. We had a lovely time out together yesterday morning/afternoon under the gazebo. I was able to do some work and get on a webinar and he was able to do his class chat at a table by his plants. The garden is growing wonderfully. I saw something of the beginning of grape bunches forming and I have been delighted by many birds that fly into the yard.
Last week, I had put out a plant drainage tray in one of my hanging basket frames and birds pulled up but when the squirrels rolled through, they pretty much took over and I watched as one licked the tray clean and the other finished up what may have fallen on the ground after they took the tray out. I have no idea how they took the tray out but nothing was left when I came back over there. I threw away the tray and purchased an inexpensive but nice looking bird feeder which had ports I thought would be difficult for squirrels to get into. I had no idea that the squirrels had a way to shake it up and make the food pour out on the ground. I go to work tonight so I will look around for a stronger bird feeder that IS IN FACT SQUIRREL PROOF and consider it for that spot. I am not pouring in food every other day, that's nonsense.
I do like watching the birds gather with the squirrels and eat together but I do also see what they are talking about the starlings being an invasive species. The starling came and attacked a squirrel that was there. They were actually my first customers and the first to recognize what the feeder was and how to get the food. It took a day or so for everyone else to catch on. The starlings found the feeder within the first hour I installed it.
There are other things I know I am forgetting to mention and hopefully they will come to my memory so I can share them in the next blog post or before the day is over.
God is good. I am fed. My son is fed. My home is clean and comfortable. My family is home and doing well and my friends/church family are doing good. Nothing I can complain about and I praise the Lord for the goodness He has given in my life and continues to give.
Happy Sabbath
