Out for our daily walk in the park we often take the path less trode. Opting to go through the wet grass and under the trees instead of taking the sidewalk. After jumping over a downed tree we pass under a huge old oak tree. Joey stops, ears perked, turns to the left and leads me to a spot where the grass is a little high. There we find a baby bird. He sniffed the bird and it began to squawk. Joey being the gentle soul that he is jumps back and lets me pick up the bird.
I carried the bird in the rolled up hem of my t-shirt back to the car. I put Birdie in a pop tart box and brought him home.
Birdie was hungry and in need of water. So I took some mushed up can dog food and warm water to make it like a liquid. Put it in a straw and fed him. Just to hold him over until I could call the bird sanctuary.
Birdie stayed in an old fish tank in the warm shed for an hour or so. Then it was back in his traveling pop tart box and off the the Seabird sanctuary. The folks at the sanctuary said he was in good condition took him in and told us he was a blue jay, Which happens to be one of my favorites.
Thank you to my best friend Joey for being that loving gentle spirit that values life, all life and not just his own.
Yes when it rains the droplets that hit the glass make a whisper pinging sound and give a singing voice to the rain.
I think it is a unique look and I enjoy the fact that it is different. I will return and remove the labels at a later date but wanted to get this on the blog today.
Drilling holes in the sides and wrapping copper tubing around the outside makes this a great stick incense burner.
With a large paper clip or a split ring from a key ring holder to hold the end of the stick keeps the stick suspended in the bottle.
The smoke comes out of the top the ash and embers drop to the bottom. So it is safe and clean and it is great to keep away flying bugs.
Now this is the Ministers Wife's bag. 
Now this is the view from my office. I know, what a great office. My seats are the Blessed Benches that we bought from the church when they decided to replace them with comfortable padded chairs. I still love the benches and find them very comfortable for me. I cut each of them into smaller benches that seat 3. 
I have everything I need along with the gifts of Mother Nature all around me. Today I am making calls to the Department of Elder Affairs to help someone wade through the paperwork to move into assisted living. And with the hand of God to my right holding my bag how can I go wrong. LOL
