Sunday Snippet

Our Sunday started out with a beautiful bright full moon setting on the mountains. Because the parking lot wasn't able to be plowed, church was cancelled. I felt like I had a "found day" because I didn't have to teach my Sunday school class and instead got to just stay home and catch up on things around the house. The snow from yesterday is melting and the sun has been out all day. The dogs enjoyed being outside. Maguire continues to think that the snow is a meal to be enjoyed!

Speaking of meals...The birds have been all around for the last couple of days too. I really enjoy watching them. We have quite a community of birds that include cardinals, blue Jays, chickadees, nut-hatches, and wrens--Even the woodpeckers, crows and a squirrel have come. However an uninvited flock of Starlings has shown up and they really are a nuisance! I don't think they are a particularly pretty bird. Added to that they act like a street gang because they scare away the smaller birds and gobble up all the food I put out, leaving nothing for the other birds. Carl says they're hungry and have to eat too--Of course I realize that, but it doesn't make me sympathetic to them at all. Maybe my dislike for their being here is like the Wolf Spider from last week, I am not seeing their beauty and misunderstand them too.
