Yesterday was fairly bright and sunny and I had to spend the entire morning in a meeting. And while the meeting was somewhat interesting and somewhat productive, it doesn’t equate to a morning of watching my back yard buffet guests. Today, on the other hand, is rainy and cloudy and gloomy. However, I’m still having an eventful morning in the back yard. For some reason, I seem to be having a squirrel convention at the buffet. There’s a minimum of ten squirrels in my back yard right now. They are on feeders, on branches, on the ground chasing one another. I don’t think I have ever had this many squirrel in my yard and at my feeders at one time. I just opened the sliding door and fired off six or seven shots with my BB gun and I think I only missed hitting one of them one time. But, they have gone high in the trees or over to a neigbor’s tree for the time being. And —- as soon as they left, the birds began swooping in to eat. Unfortunately, give the squirrels five minutes and they will be back. If I ever wanted squirrel for lunch, this would be the day to have it. (Yuk). I’ve had squirrel; it doesn’t taste like chicken, I don’t care what anybody says. 

I think it is amazing that the birds and mystupid squirrels all just seem to be impervious to the fact that is it raining like crazy. They fly though it with ease and sit and eat like it is a sunny day. I guesss their drive for food over rides every other drive. I assume they have no concept of it raining or being cold  or whatever. I think God designed them so that their bodies simply adjust to the conditions. If they are cold, they fluff up their fur or their feathers automatically and there is no thought process to it. And, when I stop to think about that I just never cease to be amazed at the complexity of God’s world and the creatures God has created. How anyone could try to remove the concept of Devine intervention and design from our existence and claim this is all accidental evolution is beyond me. As I and so many other s have repeatedly said, —- “Yes, their may have been a Big Bang —- but God lit the match with purpose and power., 

It has stopped raining for a few minutes and Ms. Kate wants me to put something in the mailbox so I’m dropping off for today. I think I will spend the day either reading or writing or maybe a bit of both. It’s gloomy outside so light up the world with your love!  Peace.
