I’m testing out a new feeder. Although after seeing what the racoons can do… I now know why so many of my feeders last year got demolished. Guess I will have to plan for the next winter season, rethink the kind of feeders I will need ..
will see if this bicycle feeder will hold up…=^_^=
Till soon
PS.. last winter I’d arrive to find the feeders looking like a cyclone had gone through. Now I have a better idea of just how they got turned over, ripped apart etc. As cute as these racoons are… those little hands and their cunning I think can do a lot of damage.
The past leads to Now and Now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each One.

Today is the 11th of the month, there will be a 10 a.m. service at the church – Ancestors’ Day ceremony will take place at 10 a.m.
It is a treat to get out these days, for so long our restaurants were not open, then it was only the patios, now there is more choice. Not all hospitality business’s made it through the last 1.5 plus year. I have begun to think of the coming winter season. Currently in our area, we are experiencing very high heat, we’ve had weather alerts almost every other day, if not every day. When my sister lives in the States, they have had fires to content with, air quality a serious matter.
For the sake of others, society , and world peace. Always live keeping in mind everything you do is for the sake of others, society and World Peace.

I was asked the other day how come I am always taking things to the “Goodwill” (charities) – over the years I have accumulated a lot of things that I no longer require .. with the passing of my husband 3 years ago, my life changed, How much one’s life changes can only be known by “living it” Fortunately due to my husband’s condition we had time to prepare, and he was able to help me make decisions that prepared me for this “journey” I’m on now.
Every time I take something away, yes it is perfectly still good, or it was never used, I remind myself that I don’t need it, and there are people out there that can make use of whatever it is I’m passing along.
There was a song I don’t remember it well enough to find it again, but it was about, a woman who saved her best “lingerie” for that special occasion, and then, tragedy struck and there was no need for the “lingerie”… you get my drift…. life is to be lived, and it is not material things that create happy.
..yesterday I heard a friend sing. I never knew he sang, but sing he did… it was fun and he performed it well, it brought smiles, it was a feel good performance. I learned something new about my friend, that he had the confidence and the willingness to do something so different from his usual presentation was inspiring, His audience loved it.. it brought smiles. He made people smile, what a gift.
I love learning something new about a friend, it encourages me to be a better person myself, friendships are treasures to be cherished.
Material things hold no value, unless it is something you want .. need and use. Friendships on the other hand, are priceless, and enrich our lives in forever ways.
Will see it in his/her own unique way (if they see it at all)*
With that I’m off to start my day
Would you, if you could?

** countless people have handled and walked on or over that plank, its been used, over and over again, doubt that its been thanked. In my lessons on walking softly, I am learning to appreciate all that is around me. could each step, each plank I use, become a prayer…

for some reason the camera is acting finicky… half of the pictures taken the other day were not focused properly, I recall having trouble with the adjustments at the time.. of course its when I get home and upload them that I see just how wonky some of them turned out. The blue jays don’t strike me as being crisp… but.. and I do see the little chippy.

Turtle rescue – one of the regular hikers .. found a turtle on the paved road.. it was very dry and far from water. He picked it up and carried it to a body of water.. (2 km. further down the road)
sharing love and compassion will always be rewarded.
Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.
