Posted By Request....





Since you asked, here are my photos taken of the eagle perched in our tree last Saturday. At least I think it was Saturday. We've been so unscheduled since the last day of school it's hard to keep track of days. I wish I'd walked a little closer to the tree, but didn't because I was afraid it would scare him away. We really enjoyed watching him, but have not seem him around here since Sunday. We're seeing plenty of the little songbirds though! In fact, today we're going to have to run to town for more bird feed! They eat unbelievable quantities, and the birds that come seem to announce to every bird in the county that we're serving, so the flocks keep getting bigger. We enjoy watching them though, and will continue throughout the winter. Many times recently, we've seen so many colorful birds in and around the feeder that it would seem the bushes are beautifully decorated. I'm ever amazed at the variety and beauty of each species. God made the heavens and the earth we see so beautiful, it's hard to imagine how beautiful heaven will be!






This may be my last post until after Christmas, so let me leave you with a Christmas card greeting.




When you get right down to it, He's the only thing that really matters. Merry Christmas to you!

Great!! The pics look better here than on facebook I think!! Thanks for posting by request!!! I know what you are talking about regarding the birds eating like hogs!! Am gets irritated because he usually has to buy 3x more bird food than he does bags of grain for the cows!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

What a contrast in Christmas weather between your house and mine. We ran our air conditioner all day Thursday, and every day since. I see snow in your pictures, and must admit I've never had a white Christmas. However, we do celebrate the same event - the birth of Jesus.
Hope your family Christmas was a joy for all of you.
