Just recently a brand new baby bird fell out of a nest from our bushes. My boys found it and were beside themselves. Luckily, the hubby ingeniously thought to very gently pick the baby up with salad tonges and put it back in his nest. It worked! We were thrilled.<br /><br />So glad to hear you are all about saving animals too. :)<br /><br />Beautiful post!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-64598560873525853112009-07-14T19:29:19.655-07:002009-07-14T19:29:19.655-07:00I knew I could count on your for an interesting ta...I knew I could count on your for an interesting tale,with a little humor tossed in....Trust all is going well for you.

Where was Miss Rachel Kaye for all the doins? <br />We had a baby bird incident too and also noticed the mom doesn't care at all if we had touched the baby. It was impossible to find the nest. Those little guys that hop out too are often kitty nerf balls. <br />Just the way of nature. <br />Close call with the striped stinker!<br />Heather found out that hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dawn dish soap work well. Axel tangled with a skunk and got a full in the face spray. Hopefully he learned not to do that again.<br />As for the rest of our summer escapades I think your current, except you may want to see the lovely loaf of bread I baked today.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-50615514595289046582009-07-14T14:42:00.870-07:002009-07-14T14:42:00.870-07:00Good afternoon, Debbie,

Hmmm....It's good?<br /><br />Isn't it true that the Lord knows just what we need, even the special things that we never thought we would want. He is so good, and so wise.<br /><br />Thanks for coming to visit my blog, too.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201951577572323343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-53763505030817492682009-07-14T14:00:01.092-07:002009-07-14T14:00:01.092-07:00I am always delighted to read your reflections and...I am always delighted to read your reflections and note how you have come to view the world close to home.

You can take the ...I don't know how you do it. You can take the everyday situations of life and weave a tale of delight!<br /><br />We were watching the birds tease the cats last night. They would fly and swoop over the cat's heads. They would fly from every direction, and the poor cats couldn't figure out where they were coming from, or where they were going. The birds were really having fun playing 'Catch me, if you can!' The birds won!<br /><br />Earlier in the spring, we had 'cousins' of your Mr. Stinky. We think it was a Mrs. Stink looking for a nesting site. She wanted to be in my hubby's shop. He 'smelled' the evidence of her when he went out one morning. <br /><br />He went on the internet to see what could discourage her choice of a 'potential home'. He found out that they don't like the high pitched sound of 'Rodent' devices. I had a couple, so he took them out to the shop, and plugged them in. The next morning, she had gone, but left her lingering fragrance. She then headed for the nice wood (read junk) pile he has, so he plugged the device in outside, after making sure the doors were closed tightly.<br /><br />Mrs. Stinky left this 'unfriendly' neighborhood, at least for this year.<br /><br />Thank you for allowing me, and I'm sure, the rest of your readers to see the good in our lives.<br /><br />Blessings to you, dear friend.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12580498957271396362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-15561120095627539362009-07-14T12:12:09.880-07:002009-07-14T12:12:09.880-07:00Beautiful words my friend.

I'm reminded as I read this that one of my "baby birds" is flying the coop, at least in part. The transition has been difficult, however I need to remind myself that He alone is my source of strength. <br /><br />I love reading your blog...it's such an encouragement to me.
