Butterflies, Birds, and Bookends

Happy Memorial Day!

As we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, take time to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

May God Bless the families and friends of those who gave their lives to protect our country.

A bee takes time to enjoy the nectar of a daisy...

while a butterfly rests upon a golden bouquet.
A bird's nest snuggled amongst the branches of an oak tree,
a protective papa Cardinal keeps watch,
as the mama Cardinal feeds her young.

Red Cardinals...

Blue Jays,

and the white chest of the Red-Headed Woodpecker,

make for a patriotic bird display of nature:).

On this Memorial Day Lizzy and Calvin have found a comfy place to nap...

on opposite ends of the sofa...

creating bookends.

Time to shift to the other direction...

and the bookends are there once again!

Blessings to all this Memorial Day!
