1. Last Sunday a friend from church didn't have to work that day. She made it to church & bible study. We then had lunch together with her sister and my daughter. Later that afternoon I sat outside in the warm sun and wind listening to my new cd Devotions with Priscilla by Priscilla Shirer. I only made it through five tracks but they were very good. Looking forward to finishing the last seven tracks.

2. My husband and I had planned to go see Duck Hunter Shoots Angel tonight but I misplaced the tickets we had. I'm so bummed over this as I was looking forward to seeing this play. I'm sure they'll show up sometime. We'll just have to pick a different play to watch when they do...

3. Two white dogwoods and one of two washington hawthorn trees didn't make it. I'll be replacing them within the next month or so. Otherwise, all my young trees have blooms on them now. 

4. My young adult daughter has been fighting the stomach flu/ virus since yesterday evening. She's doing some better now but still needs rest, food & fluids.

5. Birds I've been spotting at my feeder and around my yard: goldfinches, grackles, starlings, red winged blackbird, cardinal, sparrows, robins & mockingbirds. What have you seen at your bird feeder lately?

Three Grackles

I took this picture back in mid July through my living room window, window screen and some rain. Spruced up with photoshop and voila, three grackles. I think these birds are somewhat scary when you look at them to long. And, I think they're bullies of the smaller birds that come to feed at my feeder. They're foraging for the fallen seeds on this particular day and don't seem to know I'm taking their picture from inside my home. Coastcard, this picture is for you as you'd asked to see what they looked like.

On a different note, I'd like to say my private blog is a work in progress but you're more than welcome to come visit anytime. I'll just need to send you a password for your viewing pleasure. For those of you who are faithful followers of Naquillity I'd like to say I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused you. Seems I've led some to believe Naquillity will be abandoned for the private blog. No worries, I'll still be blogging here at Naquillity. The new blog is to get to know me and my family on a personal basis. Thanks to those who've already signed into the new blog and left their comments. I've enjoyed reading them.
