We are wandering in a maze when we do not think of life all around us as the intricate work of Creation.
We had wonderful warm, sunny weather when another round of freezing hit. The daffodils were flat on the ground this morning, as if they surrendered to the cold. But this afternoon they were upright again and more flowers were coming up.
Freezes and rain threats are good reasons to put extra bird (and squirrel) food out. I put some on each of two barrels, some on a broken chair, some scattered in the lawn. Right now they are shelled peanuts. Peanuts in the shell are great for attracting larger birds (grackles, starlings, cardinals, blue jays). Raw peanuts are attractive to all creatures great and small. Squirrels are omnivorous, so they eat anything and everything.
God has built in their needs, their nesting habits, food favorites, bathing style, and songs. Bethany Lutheran Church now has a bird choir that sings during the broadcast. They get up every morning, without food prepared, and sing the Matins service. They create happiness in all they do.
