The thing that struck me was that even though there was plenty of food and two full feeders, they seemed to compete and antagonize each other. I watched wings flail and heard angry chirps as I watched in amazement. The strange thing was that they would fight each other and then sit happily next to each other and grab seeds from the feeders. Apparently, birds don't hold a grudge.


Two twin butterflies joined the fray today too. Butterflies always amaze me. These were incredible with bright colors of yellow, black and blue.

I also wondered how I'd feel about caring for a child on a daily basis without knowing what the child's future held. The truth is, I wonder but I don't dwell on it. I hope and I pray for positive decisions and wise choices but I know that I am doing what I can do. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the amount of support I've gotten. People are just jumping over each other to love on this little guy. He's been blessed with material items, snuggles and prayers from friends and family all across ...
