BIRD'S EYE VIEW!

In the fall months, hubby has a special bird"s-eye view of his fine featheredfriends as many hover around him when he's patio sitting. They know "from whence their food cometh!"
On wintery snowy days, they still keep an eye out for him who "bringeth their meal worms." They probably recognize his footprints. Afterwards, he sits in  his den lounge chair and watches them enjoy the treat.
Hubby also keeps a "watchful eye" of protection.
Hawks are beautiful to look at but not as prey over "his" special birds.
As Scripture reminds us, many birds have no storeroom or barn: yet, God feeds them.(Luke 12:24) Sometimes he uses my husband in that transaction.
Three beautiful bird's eye views.

"tea-lightful"

May you see your children's children! (Psalm 128:6, ESV)
Not only living to see my grandchildren but spending uninterrupted time with them, especially one at a time, is a blessing. A treat beyond measure. A "grand" time to read stories, play a game and create. 

"Serving the birds" idea had us creating a pinecone wreath bird feeder. Slathering peanut butter on the cones and rolling them in seed and thistle to attract the birds was great fun. BUT....a pesky squirrel made short work of disassembling and devouring our creation......as the birds only looked on. In his defense, he does lay clam to all pinecones in our yard, so I should have known better.

Time with a grandson is as "tea-lightful" as a warm cuppa on a cold January day, even when activities take an unexpected turn.
