Re-member // Summer Evenings

Remember; the Song the Robins sing as they perch upon the rooftops in the evening Sunlight . . .

In the same Sunlight that turns the trees two shades of green.

Remember; the Sparrows on the housetop, whisking in and out of sight . . . 

 and; that Rambunctious Rabbit, that doesn't want to be seen.  ;)

Remember; the Footprints, following you silently up the stairs, up the driveway . . . 

and; the Golden Light, shimmering, glimmering through the leaves.

Remember; the Roses, that ripen to pink in the cool night air, when the bees have quit their play. . . 

and; the Clouds that imitate cotton balls and waves, and the soaring Balloons. (For which some small child probably grieves)

Remember; the Shades of a Sunset between two Blocks of Black . . . 

and; Finding all the Colors of the Rainbow.

Remember; the Halo around the streetlight, through Branches winking back . . . 

and; the Reflection of the street light in the Puddle below.

You might not have robins, roses or rainbows where you are,

perhaps, hide and seek, horses, or stargazing on a car.

Whatever memories God sends your way,

Capture them, before they slip away.

Most of all, remember Him:

Exodus 3:15

God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be Remembered throughout all generations.

Psalms 22:27

All the ends of the earth shall Remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.

God Bless!

They've Flown the Step!

But before we get to that part, we'll back up to where the baby robins were last time and go on from there...

Back when they objected to being sat on . . . .

And they still had their mouths turned upwards 75% of the time . . .

Then we saw this.

What exactly is this you wander? A big worm? Or!...is that really what you think it is? Nah . . . it can't be a  . . .a - Garter snake?!

Yes, I'm afraid it is.   =)

So . . . it begs the question: When is the right time to give your offspring snakes for dinner?   

At first we thought they were just fighting over who got it, but then it became obvious. that it was more "If you won't give it to me, then just take it all and let's be done with it!" 

(Notice the unlucky one that got stuck on the bottom of the nest whilst these two thrashed around!)

 *A Birds Eye View*

*sorry, just couldn't resist!*

Eventually, one of them got it out of his mouth, and left it (probably quite happily too!) to the other.

Aren't they justtoocuteforwords?

 

Now that they were older, mom gave 'em the equivalent of the "Don't talk to strangers" lecture:

"Okay, and if those big creatures come down the stairs again, don't perk up, open your beaks, or blink your big eyes and  just generally look cute! Drop to the floor! Hide under your wings, show 'em there's nothin' but boring grayish fluff and feathers! Don't move a feather!"

And they were pretty good at it.
Any more shots I had hoped to get of open mouths- all past now.        

A headless robin?!

 

Nope! He's just camera shy.

God Bless!
