Beautiful Nature
Before I say anything else, let me assure you that I did NOT take this picture. (Click here for the source.) Neither I nor my camera are capable of producing such a work of art. Nevertheless, I have been excited and blessed to see that our pond is the current residence of no fewer than five equally gorgeous wood ducks. Whether they intend to make this their permanent residence I don't know, but I have been enjoying them while they last. They swam around in the pond throughout all of yesterday's snow, and they're still here this afternoon.
The inclement weather actually seems to have been good for naturalistic purposes. My feeders have been alive with goldfinches, chickadees, cardinals, sparrows, and juncos. It is amazing how beautiful wildlife can be. God is amazing!

As an avid birdwatcher, I must say that I have seen many rare birds such as; the pilated woodpecker, the Canadien grey hawk (as it ate one of my last two chickens), and the cedar waxwing. However, I have only enjoyed the wood duck once in my life. Pretty cool to be able to duck-watch from your window!
p.s. have you had as many deer in your yard in the past week as we have? it seems like they are coming out in droves lately!
God is amazing! I can't WAIT for all the different kinds of birds to return to our part of CHH...we haven't had that many lately, only deer. Yes, only a lot of deer...:)
tov, eash, tov.
Non capisco la parola "eash." Come si dice "eash" in inglese?
Hahaha...:)
Your 'Current Favorite Word', agog, just reminded me of The Music Man.
"We're simply agog, Professor Hill!" "Yes, simply agooog!!" (in shrill, very nasally tones) :D Remember? I could quote that entire movie, I like it so much. The old one, that is.
Yes, "agog" and The Music Man are inseparably intertwined in my thoughts. :)
Hahaha! :)
