Eastern Red Fox Squirrel in My Backyard!

This is a first for me. Who knew that an Eastern Red Fox Squirrel would show up in my backyard? I am used to seeing gray squirrels in my yard and have seen black squirrels on a golf courses or parks. Never have seen one of these until it appeared a couple of days ago.

I looked out my window and low and behold there it was gleaning black oil sunflower seeds from around my bird feeder.  There was a grey squirrel gleaning along side, but that didn't deter either one from accomplishing their mission. It was really big in relation to the 'Gray". I checked the next day, but it hasn't returned. 

I'll be vigilant. Keep you posted.

I'M CHARMED

I recently saw an article about charm bracelets and started reminiscing about mine. My charm bracelets are more than decoration. They are a journal of my life, my family, and the trips I have taken. They are easy to find and easy to pack. They do not catch dust. 

My collection began when I made a trip to Williamsburg and bought a bracelet. The rest is history. The gold and silver ones are mementos from my life and travels. I started the silver one when gold got so expensive. 






Then, I branched out when I started collecting heart lockets and crosses. Each locket has a picture of a member of my family tucked inside. 

The one with the evil eyes was bought in a favorite antique store. I added the Scorpio and Libra charms that were bought from the same store. It helps ward of 'evil spirits'.

I still wear them from time to time and feel 'charmed'.

Song for Sunday

Put Your Hand in the Hand

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee

My momma taught me how to pray

Before I reached the age of seven

When I'm down on my knees

That's when I'm closest to heaven

Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife

Well you do what you must do

But he showed me enough of what it takes

To get me through, oh yeh!

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee Oh yeh!

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee Oh yeh!

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man

Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at others differently

Put your hand in the hand of the man

From Galilee Oh yeh!

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, Oh yeh!
