Sweet little church in the woods...wish I could go there today. I want to go to church this morning but for some reason I don’t feel like getting ready.

And, Dolly, love the covered bridge. All I can think of when I see a covered bridge is “The Bridges of Madison County”...love that movie! We have some covered bridges in a little town close by. The town is Elizabethton....I know you have heard of it, if you attended E.T.S.U. for a time.

Meg and Lori, I believe my bluebirds are gone. I am so troubled over it. Saw no activity all day yesterday until late in the evening....no birds. I pray I will see them today but don’t think so. I am very familiar with their activity. I had a feeling when I saw that hole look so different, that something was wrong. Their nest was finished a long time ago and they had 5 little eggs about 10 days ago.

Oh my..I am so sorry! I have worried because I have no cardinal fledglings showing up..I saw poppa feed momma this morning..Perhaps something happened to their nest and they are going to start over. Your bluebirds may start over..I hope so.
I have frequent feeding at the hummingbird feeder ..only one at a time and it seems only females..I have it close in view so I am enjoying. I had none last year.
God’s creations give me so much joy.

Oh, jaycee, I am so sorry! I am also sorry I am so late in replying to this.

I know how responsible you feel for the little wild things when they are living near you. I feel the same way, but then I have to remember that there is little we can do when nature takes it's course and preditors are a reality that we can't control. It is very sad though. Those little bluebirds were innocents. :-(
