We cut up a watermelon a few days ago, and thought we might share it with out bushy - tailed friends. We didn't know if they would like water melon, but decided to put a slice up in the crook of the tree by the bird bath, where they like to hang out. As you can see from this picture, they LOVED it! I caught a picture of this little guy through my zoom lense. At one point he really had his little self in the middle of the slice and was having a grand old time!We get so much enjoyment from watching the birds and squirrels, and try to have fresh water out for them in the evenings. We have had a woodpecker, several brightly colored cardinals, blue jays, sparrows, and doves, stopping by for a drink over the last couple of days.
There is such joy to be found in taking time to stop and savor the simple things in life! We live in such a fast - paced and hectic world. I always find refreshment in reflecting on God's creation; the marvels of His handiwork can be seen everywhere, if I will but take the time to slow down and look.................
Amen to that Jenni!! God is everywhere and how often do I take the time to savor His presence?? Lately - I'll say not nearly often enough! I don't know how anyone can look at nature, creatures, and human life and proclaim there is no God... ?? You captured a great picture here and I didn't know these fellas liked watermelon.. Have a beautiful weekend, beautiful lady!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Bobbi! Since I've been sick, it has kind of forced me to slow down, and I found myself noticing things more....God is so good, we can see witnesses of His goodness everywhere!And it's great to hear from you, too...
ReplyDeleteI didn't know squirrels liked melon, either, but they sure did go for it.... Smiles!
Hugs!
