Feathered Friends




Several years ago friends gave H and me a small birdfeeder, the kind that sticks to the window with suction cups. It sat in the gift bag for quite a while. Finally, I stuck it on the window next to the kitchen table and waited. To my surprise, the birds came, and I have been hooked on watching them ever since.

It’s amazing to see them up close – perfect little beings with beautiful colors and feather patterns, exquisite detail, and fascinating habits. Whenever I find a feather in the yard, I pick it up and place it in small bird bowl (a gift from another friend) that I’ve set aside just for the purpose of paying homage to God’s creatures.
