And bless their hearts, they're about the ugliest things I've ever seen! There were still six eggs when I left for church yesterday morning, but when I got back 4 had hatched! One more egg hatched this morning; still one left. I'm so facinated by this! I watched the mamma and pappa birds bring food yesterday and feed them. So, cool. But that's not all...we also have a little family of cardinals now feeding on one of my feeders. They're actually returning guests. The cardinal babies are not very pretty either, but I have fun watching both the male and female feed their babies. And...I have baby squirrels! I saw them yesterday in one of our big oak trees. These guys are very cute! I just have a little nursery around here. Spring is awesome.
On another note, we talked about being stuck yesterday at church. Interesting topic for me right now. In some ways, I do feel very stuck. And yet, there is so much change; so much in motion. Pastor talked about Jacob and his wrestling with God. It left a mark...but, as his name says, "and he lived." Feeling stuck is frustrating for me, but I wonder that sometimes I call being stuck just resistance to being still. Maybe? Being still is where I find clarity, direction, serenity. I know this and yet I don't stop very easily sometimes. Guess I'm stubborn?!
And a good reason to not be still? Graduation is in 4 days! And a big ole' party on 5. I'm off now to get ready for about 80 poeple in my home, including cooking 20 lbs. of fajita meat, 5 gallons of charro beans and 3 cakes!

what time should we be there? lol
finding clarity in being still. hmmmm. yes. problem is with me is that, in this stuckedness, I can avoid the issues in my life by staying busy. If I set down and think about it then i have to confront some realities that i may not be really willing do deal with. ~npp
yep, yep, yep.
12 noon. The Revrin and Gentiles will be here. Come on by!
P.S.- my beans are made with Shiner. NOt really a beer fan myself, but I only use half a bottle in the beans. Can't let the rest go to waste; that wold be tragic! So...a little for the beans, a little for me, a little for the beans, a little for me....
that brutha wuz holdin' out on me! yes yes yes isn't the only answer! lol. Please do not let the Shiner go to waste. Good for you for stepping up to ensure that it doesn't happen. ;) ~npp
yep...he's just like that. In your honor, I promise not to ever waste one drop of Shiner!
