You crack me up! When I went into my comments a couple of days ago, I was greeted with great things.
Kim said, “The Madame Bovary slip is very, very funny, but not nearly as funny as the greeting you gave me at the ClassEd Chat a couple of weeks ago!”
You might want to hear about this. We are members of a Yahoo group called ClassEd. Every Tuesday night we have chat. We had planned to meet at a designated time. When Kim came on line, she typed, “Hello!” I responded in like manner, only I failed to notice that my flying fingers had not included the “o”.
Oops!

Did you notice that Bob and Carmen left a “cow-ment”? I decided that I had to go and see what the California cows were up to. What a riot!

Janie recalled that I had started my blog with a comment on the Psalm I was reading. I think that got dropped when I took a couple of weeks off trying to get my bearings in Blogworld. I will have to consider going back to something—perhaps “thoughts from my green chair”, the place I have my daily quiet time. Thanks, Janie!

And then the issue with all that goofy lingo on my blog! Donna is right—it’s like having a poppy seed stuck in your teeth, and of course, everyone but you can see it! LOL! I’m glad I could get rid of it—at least in the future blogs. All of you were soooooo sweet about it! Thanks!.

Diane, I’ve never read Mitford….something to add to my reading list?

If you didn’t click on the photo of “Red”, Jacob’s steer, then you really ought to do it. There is nothing like a big nose that fills the whole screen…

Thoughts from my Big Green Chair
I haven’t had my quiet time yet this morning, but I can type what I wrote yesterday in my journal. It isn’t from the Psalm—I got distracted and didn’t write anything from the scripture I was reading! Here it is:
While I sat in my big green chair reading, a flutter of bright red outside my window drew my attention to the snow bank near the end of the pines along the lane. It perched on top the drift that just yesterday I attempted to cross; the snow, coming up to my hip, had made me retreat. The beautiful male cardinal no doubt left dainty tracks next to the monstrous Grand Canyons I’d left behind. I wondered what he had found there to attract him to roost upon such a pile of icy cold. Another bird swooped down on top of him and the two fluttered off across the lane and into the standing pines. Might it have been his mate?

Blessings!
Tracks in the snow. Can you identify it?

Gee those prints look like a human on tip toe, of a big cat (bob cat) or a close up of a little cat.
I'm not sure. Just guessing.
Oh, we hate being the first to comment and show how silly we are when we get it wrong! It would be nice if we had a cat so that I could grab it's paw and check it out......is it a cat? Your photos are so uplifting. They remind us of the "Birds & Blooms" magazine. ( published by the good folks of Greendale, WI.)
Your "Thoughts from my Big Green Chair" really hit the spot! What the Lord provides to look at through the window beats anything on television. We have cardinals here also. They are big and red and look like football players, ha, ha.
Bob and Carmen
P.S. We second the "Mitford" reading suggestion.
Dear Jean,
Get Thee to a Mitford Book! It is a vacation in a book (several books, actually.) I read the first two out loud to my husband and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Lots of laughing. Some tears. Love them.
The track? It looks like a cat to me (but I can't tell how big it is.) My silly husband says he thinks it's a polar bear.
Happy Friday!
Diane
I've read some of the Mitford books. They were very wonderful reads!
Is that a cat print? Too big, isn't it?
I like the reflections from your green chair. I love to sit and reflect on nature. I'd love to have some birds around, but with the cat population in my neighbourhood, I think a bird feeder would be fairly sadistic.
Jean,
To be totally honest, I'm the one who thinks it's a cat. My husband thinks it is something bigger. So his guess is "Bobcat". I didn't want to say that because he is a "Bob'.......and he likes things that are named after him Ha, ha.
Read ALL seven of the Mitford books .( in order) The eighth, and final one, comes out this year. People of all ages and men and women would enjoy them. We find ourselves wanting to live in Mitford. People even ask Jan Karon where the "fictional " town is so they can visit.
