Sunday’s Pictures #5.

Hi everybody on this first Sunday of September!  And today is Blue Jay Appreciation Day!  Where did that come from you ask?  Just made it up.  Hey, someone has to do it. And why not?  They are a beautiful bird and they actually help to protect smaller birds but chasing away predators.  So today all the pictures are blue jays from the many that come to visit here.  Baxter, of course, is my main blue jay and the friendliest of the group. So here we go, starting with Baxter!IMG_6784

Next we have Big Blue, who definitely seems to be ready for winter.IMG_6595

Then we have Bentley, who has the bushiest eyebrows of the group.IMG_6634

A little bit better picture of Bentley to show off his blue color.IMG_6623

And finishing off again with Baxter.IMG_6729

There are 10 of these blue jays altogether, some are a little hard to tell apart though.  I hope you have enjoyed these bright blue beauties to start off our September Sunday’s Pictures.  I hope you enjoy your Sunday and God bless!

Raining…A Poem.

Hello everyone!  We have been getting a lot of rain lately.  I enjoy rain, it’s something that is so needful.  As I was watching the rain, this poem started coming to me.

RAINING

Soft and gentle is the rain,

Soothing, dripping, once and again.

But at times rain comes pouring down,

Which often brings to us a frown.

But listen to that calming sound,

Wonderful music, I have found.

On the window is sparkles bright,

Whenever there comes any light.

That’s how our lives ought to be,

Sparkling in rain, constantly.

Heavy clouds are always around,

Bringing the rain the does abound.

See it now, the beauty of rain,

Just what we need to grow again.

So welcome all the rain that comes,

And listen close, it truly hums.
