G’day! Byron the Quokka here with Uncle Shinbone, and that’s the Quokka University Political Science Dept. offices in the background. It needs a little more work.

Having been unable to get us 300 or more views for three days in a row, Uncle Shinbone now says it’s not his fault, the wind wasn’t blowing properly, and what the heck, he’s going fishing. “Let one of those smart-aleck wombats try,” he says.

I don’t know what it is with him and fishing, he never catches anything. Well, all right, he once caught a picture of a fish. Not many humans can say they’ve done that. I guess I’ll just have to figure out some other way to get the views back up to speed. Meanwhile, “I’m going for marlin,” Uncle Shinbone says. We all have our dreams, don’t we?

Blessed Assurance

Sorry folks, but I have to cut it short.

I am just too tired to do anything more today.

I am taking a short nap before I have supper.

The ride to the store today was bad enough–I got caught in a blinding downpour. That was an adventure I didn’t need.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

The nice weather is over

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The last seven days or so have been lovely.  It does cause a drought problem though, so the gray and cool weather is a good thing.  Not so good for me though.  It’s supposed to last a couple of days.  No real rain yet.

The wind is really out of my sails.  I did absolutely nothing all day.  I had been going to watch a movie this afternoon, but I fell asleep instead.

I did post a couple of things about the infinite variety of wildlife==the white squirrels, the yellow cardinals.  God gave us such a beautiful world.  It’s only us that mess things up.

My deceased neighbors sister and her friend were at the apartment earlier, clearing it out.  Still can’t get over that.

Did you ever have a day where there’s plenty to be done, you know you have to do it, and you just can’t drum up the gumption to do it?

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Until then.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Kentucky’s Rare Yellow Cardinals REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Image result for images of yellow cardinal

From June 12, 2017

Hi, Mr. Nature here–dyin’ from the heat. Last week we had our winter coats on. Today it’s 95 degrees. Well, that’s New Jersey for you.

One thing we don’t have in New Jersey is yellow cardinals–the birds, I mean, not wishy-washy churchmen. For that you have to go to Kentucky.

But even in Kentucky, the yellow cardinal is quite rare. So much so, they urge you to take pictures if you see one. The Northern Cardinal most of us know is bright red (the males) or sort-of red with a green-brown overlay (females). Cardinals mate for keeps, and where you see the male, the female won’t be far behind–and vice-versa. The yellow form, ornithologists say, is a rare genetic mutation.

God has gifted these birds with spectacularly beautiful color, and we delight in them. Even in its fallen state, the world He has created offers beauty.

Whatever will it be like, when He regenerates His whole creation?
