Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Climber Chick...

R has decided the view from the floor leaves A LOT wanting. So she's recently learned how to climb on to the couch and chair and L's dump truck... where she gets stuck and Momma takes pictures of her. Here she is 'chilling' Oh and did you know that you can see A LOT from the table in the living room?? I found her sitting on top of the table (couch to table) 3 times in the last week. Sitting quite happily under our new cream separator!! Pulling tissues from the box. Having a grand 'ol time. Stuck in the dump truck... just can't get out of this thing Mom!!!

Just yesterday she learned how to get off the couch as well. Handy thing that. She still can't get off the kid chairs and sits in them for HOURS quite contentedly. I guess the view makes up for the lack of movement????


More Eagle Pictures.

Here is the pair in the top of the neighbors spruce tree. This is the 1st time I have ever seen them in it together. Mating time I think. They are very lovey dovey. They sing a lot and don't seem to be far from each other for very long.

This next picture is really cool. The mating pair are the two with the white heads. The bottom bird is an immature eagle. Probably one of the mating pairs children. Eagles I'm told only get their white heads around 7 years of age. They are then old enough to mate. I at first thought it was a raven or crow but was shocked at it's size. They after I took the pictures I saw that it was an immature eagle. You can see the talons and beak and the shape of it's head better in the next picture. Another reason I wasn't sure what it was is that I have NEVER seen a eagle share a tree with another bird that's not an eagle. They just don't.






I scared him off. They were both on this tree when I went to get firewood and the other one flew away as soon as it saw me but I managed to get the camera and take a few shots before this one followed it's mate to another tree.
Perched to fly.






They watch me the whole time I'm out there. They never take their eyes off me. Kinda un-nerving when you see it in the pictures. When I'm out there all I can see is his head moving.
