What a cute dog!

I saw our first robins on Sunday, was nice to see them again.

Saturday early evening we saw an owl in a tree out the back window, he flew to a tree in the field to hunt and sat there a while.

That was my first time seeing one, although I have heard them through the windows at night since moving here in 2018.

Very cool to finally see one.

That’s awesome. Owls are very elusive.

I always like to hear them at night, and the last time I heard one it sounded like a big one, maybe a Great Horned Owl. The one we saw was huge, so I am guessing that is what it was.

I have never seen an owl in the wild, but one morning, while I was walking Penny, I observed a huge red-tailed hawk making a fine meal out of an unlucky squirrel.

We stood and watched quietly, and the hawk gave us a “look”, and then calmly finished his meal before taking off.

Hawks are great too. Lots of Red Tailed hawks here. Eagles are less common, saw one 2 weeks ago. The eagle has to be my favorite bird to see. The owl was cool, might never see one again, they are too good at hiding in the woods. 😅

Have you ever heard the song “The Eagle and The Hawk” by John Denver?

One of my favorites since I was a kid.

YouTube probably has it.

eagles are magnificent! There was a nesting pair right on the grounds of the Kennedy Space center for years.

I guess they liked the noise and the rockets red glare. :-)

God’s Good Glue

Read: Genesis 1:20–25

God made . . . all the creatures that move along the ground. Genesis 1:25

Scientists from Penn State University recently engineered a new kind of glue that’s both extremely strong and also removable. Their design is inspired by a snail whose slime hardens in dry conditions and loosens again when wet. The reversible nature of the snail’s slime allows it to move freely in more humid conditions—safer for the snail—while keeping it securely planted in its environment when movement would be hazardous.

The researchers’ approach of mimicking an adhesive found in nature calls to mind scientist Johannes Kepler’s description of his discoveries. He said he was “merely thinking God’s thoughts after him.” The Bible tells us that God created the earth and all that’s in it: the vegetation on the land (Genesis 1:12); the “creatures of the sea” and “every winged bird” (v. 21); “the creatures that move along the ground” (v. 25); and “mankind in his own image” (v. 27). When humankind discovers or identifies a special attribute of a plant or animal, we’re simply following in God’s creative footsteps, having our eyes opened to the way He designed them.

At the end of each day in the creation account, God surveyed the fruit of His work and described it as “good.” As we learn and discover more about God’s creation, may we too recognize His magnificent work, care for it well, and proclaim how very good it is! — Kirsten Holmberg

How do you see God’s handiwork in the creation around you? How can you respond in praise to Him?

Creator God, thank You for the unique and perfect way You created the world and all that’s in it. Your works are wondrous!
