Secure

Yesterday we had a thunderstorm and strong wind, knocking down a huge limb across the driveway, but when I went for a walk this morning, I saw this nest still secure in a nearby tree.
I remembered this verse in Psalm 61:4

I shall live forever in Your tabernacle.

Oh, to be safe beneath the shelter of Your wings!

Remembering the victims of 9/11/01 today.

The Scarecrow

I put the scarecrow on my front door this morning.

In my childhood, many people in our area had big gardens. It always thrilled me to spot a scarecrow flapping his arms in the breeze.

This morning, I heard crows cawing and it was cool as I headed out for my walk. There was a touch of red on the burning bush.

This reminded me of a song that Mother sang to me - 

one that she had learned when she was a child.

The scarecrow stands up all day long

Nodding and waving to the old wind's song,

His coat tail flapping and his hat pulled low

As he stands and waits to scare that crow.

Happy Labor Day Weekend

Greeters

This friendly pair greeted me on the walking trail looking for a treat. I guess they could not read the sign - Don't feed the ducks!

I named them Gertrude and Heathcliff from the Red Skelton show. Oh, wait! I think they were sea gulls. LOL

Linking up with Eileen's Saturday Critters

Forever

To Him Who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb

be ascribed the blessing and the honor and the majesty, glory, splendor,

and the power, might and dominion

forever and ever through the eternities of the eternities!
