This and That

Here are some pictures from this past week.


The girls had a good time cheering this week. It was the first time they all looked like they were geniunely having fun. Only 2 games left.









Tyler has been practicing using his skateboard. He's slowly improving.
































I thought this bird was really pretty. It's just a type of sparrow. Why would it matter if it was pretty? There are so very many different types of birds. Isn't it amazing that God didn't just create a bird. Instead he created birds. Birds with different designs and patterns, shapes and sizes, calls and songs, colors and hues. Why would it matter to Him if mankind had only one or two types of birds to fulfill their birdy purpose? Yet it did matter. He gave us a rainbow of species to watch and enjoy and care for. He loves us enough to care about even the smallest details that make our daily lives that much brighter.


















This little guy has his work cut out for him! My milkweed plants have been overrun by aphids. I'm not too worried about it since our monarch season is over. I'm just waiting for my seedpods to mature before the frost kills them off.













We tied a record high today - 87 degrees in the middle of October! The temperatures may not feel like fall, but the scenery declares it's here!
