New city, old home

Here we spend our days, enjoying God's blessings as they come down to us.
We've unpacked most boxes, packed the book shelves again, and are discovering new people and places. Our transitional home until we sell the other one.

A lovely spot on a sunny day.
Gideon displaying a book about migratory birds - our nature study this semester is birds.
Recently we visited a bird sanctuary where Canada Geese find a haven of shelter and food. Many years ago the sanctuary was set up to assist birds on their migratory pathways and to assist birds that were nearing extinction. The book Gideon is holding was written by Jack Miner himself "Jack Miner and the birds" - a lovely, living book of his life and involvement with birds (obtained at a local used bookstore :)

Oh how lovely!! I love verandas!We spent so much time sitting on our little porch on Montrose St. Looks like yours is big enough to hold the men and women folk! I'm glad to see you settling in. We'll be sure to visit when we are at John's mom's...whenever that will be. (likely next year sometime)
