Yesterday evening, Randy, me, Maddy, and my niece Kristina were driving out of the neighborhood to go to the coast and watch the space shuttle launch, and this is the sky we saw!!
It immediately made me think of the glory of God that is going to shine so bright in heaven that there will be no need for light!!
Do I hear a HALLELUJAH??!! AMEN!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, you all probably know by now that I adore birds. Right?
A couple of days ago I was feeling a little sad because it seems that our backyard bird population is dwindling...everyone else had more birds singing than us...WAAAHHH!!!
Why couldn't the bird lady have more birds?? WAAAHHH!!!
Well, we have a double front door that I have these two cone shaped flower pockets hanging on.
I thought it a bit strange when the one on the door that is never opened kept getting tilted. Hubby gave some explanation on the laws of physics, and I bought it hook, line, and sinker...that is until...
we saw a little birdy on top of it!
A few days went by and when I was straightening it, I took it down and looked inside...and lo and behold...the beginning of a nest was in it!!!
JOY of JOYS!! Front door birds!!!
Fast forward a couple of days to today, and look who appeared bearing more nest building materials...
How adorable is this??
Needless to say I will keep you abreast of this developing story!! I'm so excited!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now to go boldly where no other blog has ever gone!!!
The Flylady (if you don't know who she is you should check her out!) talks about how important shining your sink is...and I agree...
A shiny sink is a happy sink and makes me smile (although mine is porcelain...a bright white sink is a happy sink!!)
BUT, with that said...
Prepare yourselves...this is almost a holy moment...cue the choir...
A fresh, clean organized fridge just makes my face beam with JOY!!!
Speaking of beams...see that light...I told you it was almost holy!!! LOL!!!
So glad to get this done...it was overdue, and I feel so much better now, don't you?? :)
Those are my tidbits of joy to start off the week!!
Be a blessing!!
HUGS!

DEAR BECKY,
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL SKY....I LOVE TO WATCH THE SKY...MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH OUR CHILDREN AS THEY GREW UP AND EVEN TODAY.....WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE SKY...WHAT DO THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE....WE'VE SEEN ELEPHANTS, ANGELS, CAMELS, AND EVEN REAL THINGS...LOL
THE PICTURES OF THE BIRD THROUGH THE WINDOW WAS PRECIOUS....I LOVE THE BIRDS ALSO.....I HAVE HAD BIRDS BUILD TWICE IN MY WREATH ON THE FRONT DOOR, SO WE HAD TO GO OUT OF THE GARAGE DOOR UNTIL THE LITTLE ONES WERE BORN AND FLEW AWAY AND THEN WE HAD A HANGING BASKET I HAD LEFT OUT AND THEY BUILT A NEST IN THERE. THEY ARE MESSY AFTER THE BABIES COME BUT IT IS WORTH IT.
YOUR FRIDGE IS VERY NEAT...YOU WORKED HARD
BLESSINGS

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Becky! Beautiful sky photo!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting some joy from the birds that have moved in! Aren't they fun to watch and great to listen to?! Love it!
Cool fridge (get it? cool?:)bad, I know:) Looks so nice-- I love it when I open the door each time after a good cleaning like that-makes my day!

4) great post today - you really made me smile :O) have a great week, Becky!
Wow, that cloud shot was awesome! Loved the birdie story! How awesome is that to have a bird nest on your front door and you can see them through the glass! Can't get better than that! Good job on your fridge. It looks wonderful:) Have a wonderful day dear friend. Love, Elena
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky picture, just lovely. I'm so excited about your front door birds. Please keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteWOW stunning sky!
ReplyDeleteOhh and I have cleaned my fridge also and cleaned deeply throughout, its a good feeling even though I am tired now.
Those pictures are quite awesome! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh Becky! Doesn't God love you so much to give you your very own birdies? He cares about all the details of our hearts, doesn't He?!
ReplyDeleteAnd the fridge, well, if I fly you out, will you clean mine?!
Have a great Monday, friend. Big hugs to you!
Yes! Hallelujah & Amen! Love that picture!!!
ReplyDeleteI also love the picture of your darling little sun bather at the top of your blog!
And the pictures of your front door bird are so pretty. I had a bird nest in my clothespin basket a few summers ago and we all enjoyed watching the whole process!
I am a major bird lover also. I have 4 indoor birds (a cockateil, a dove and 2 parakeets). In the summer I take their cages out to the front porch with me and I'm known around town as "that lady who has all the birds (and dogs)"! Little ones come by to visit with my pet menagerie all summer long. I love it.
Have a great day! And thanks again for the gift!
I'm so very excited!!!!
Thanks also for the wonderful, kind, words. They mean the world to me!

Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteWonderful post today, after reading this, I thought... "God that's just like You. You could have just let Becky see a bird in a nearby tree, but because You love her so much and know what these wonderful creatures mean to her You gave her a front row seat right out her door", how awesome is this, I am always amazed at how He is always working in our lives!!! Thank you for sharing, this is so awesome!!!
Blessings,
Sue
I heard the choir sing when you opened your frig door. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a little birdy nesting right on your front door! How sweet! It must be fun to watch.
I also love the picture of the sky. I've taken pictures with similar looks and am always reminded of Heaven.
Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful things in your post today. Blessings!
Okay, the bird pics just stole my heart away. I think we have to take joy when we find it.Those pics are so incredible, loved 'em!
ReplyDeleteWHAT a loooovely sky Becky but thee bird?....
ReplyDeleteMELTED MY HEART! I'm so excited! I wonder what kind she is? That is just awesome... and makes me long for MORE SPRING when we too will have a few nest builders come back.
Happy Birthday to your daughter tomorrow! Yay!
What a sweet little bird, and look at your clean fridge, girl! WOW! Great job!
