My Life




My life is not very exciting, but it's full of wonderful things. The first picture is the gorgeous full moon rising above the church to the east of us. Isn't it amazing how big the moon can look until you try to take a picture of it? It was glorious, though.

The second is our fun bird feeder. Tired of the mess of scattered seed that was flung across our patio, Don concocted the tray from a clear plastic cover that came with a large platter from BYU catering. He fastened the tray with screws to the bottom of the feeder and painted the edge white so the birds could see it better. It has been fun to watch them. He saw a small sparrow-like bird perch on the thin edge of plastic for a moment before flying off. Today the quail were pecking up the tiny seeds from the ground and planter below the feeder. They made an even bigger mess by flinging our small reddish lava pebbles out of the planter to try and find more seeds. They are so cute it is pitiful.

The third picture is the tree that grows on the northeast corner of our yard. In spring it has lovely delicate flowers, and now there are large clumps of orange berries of some sort that hang like upside down bouquets.

How blessed I am!

I have noticed the moon here, too. I wish I could sit with you and watch your birds.

You always find the beauty in things.

The kids and I noticed the big, full moon last night too. Isn't it nice that we can share something, even from great distances? We love you and miss you. I love your comments too Kirsten. Yay for blogs!
