The birds and their behavior are something beautiful, right? so I thought of this quote: "Wherever there is beauty, Christ the Word is speaking to your heart of the Love the Holy Trinity has for you." – Father Jonathan Tobias

That is just about the biggest non-lesson we could learn. Just live in the reality of it. <3

It must have taken all your self-control not to go help that baby cross the street!

The link doesn't work, but then again, I don't have FB. I love what you said...sometimes there is no reasoning or lesson behind the greatest, littlest gifts of beauty. I love it! Thanks for sharing.♥

I figured out if you don’t have fakebook it won’t work. So I added it to YouTube and that’s what I’ll use from now on. I hated to do it on fb but it took me a bit to realize to use YT instead. Still getting to know substack and how to do all this. Lol

I couldn’t find you for some reason. So I posted the video on YouTube instead. I needed to figure out how to do that anyway. Let me know if you can view it now.

Hi Sunny, the link to Facebook didn’t work.

I had a Western Tanager and a black-headed Grosbeak the other day. You can see on Karen Bandy Bend I think 🤔

We’ve had a lot this year, Evening Grosbeaks, 5 females and one male! I love them too. That was in April mostly, here in Central Oregon. Where are you?
