Time "Flies"

Time has definitely flown by the past few weeks. I wish I had time to write about all our adventures. More birds keep showing up. They are getting used to us and allow us to take pictures without flying away quickly. Some I still haven't photographed yet. The hawk is growing more bold in watching over our yard in hopes of having a Sparrow breakfast.

The cool weather has brought mushrooms and several caterpillar chrysalis'. David killed a hog nosed snake today. Sorry, no picture. I'm beginning to think we need to get a Guinea or some other snake alarm. Ich! I wish I loved them as much as all of God's creatures.

Lilly had a "Nature Sleep Over Birthday Party". You can read about it on our other blog: twojoyfullylearning.blogspot.com. Zane is loving the bird "seeing". He chose a birding guide along with binoculars at Half Price books last week and spent an hour on our bed "bird seeing". The Lord is gracious. The kids are much more fascinating to watch than all of nature. I've included a slide show of all our pictures. Some were taken by every member of the family. Yes, they are all from our backyard. Enjoy!
