Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Red-breasted Nuthatch. They were much more irregular winter visitors to my yard up north, than here. They usually move south when their food is scarce or colder winters. Little acrobats.
Good morn, dear nephew 😘! Just like the ones we had in our Welsh garden. And here come the memories…
Saw this last night and thought of you immediately 🤗
Li’l stinker! The one with the wet nose.
What a great detective you are, ERROR!! 😉😘
Elementary, my dear Betsy. Elementary… 🧐 😋
Have you and Kim ever watched Sherlock? The one with Benedict Cumberbatch that I told myself (being a Conan Doyle purist)
I wouldn’t like??
If not, I suspect you would find it absolutely wonderful….as I did…much to my shock 😎
Clever, clever, clever …
A million thumbs up!
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Although I love to read and watch mysteries (especially British), I never watched Sherlock because I was sure I wouldn’t like it. But, now, I’m definitely taking a look.
I prejudged, Jepperdine.
The first two series were rerun before the third premiered. It was my bedtime, but I said to myself I’ll watch 10 minutes just to get a feel…
But was hooked good and hard.
I would suggest that you watch with no expectations. You won’t be disappointed.
If you’ve read Conan Doyle’s work and are familiar with the stories, you’ll agree with me I think on just how clever it is….and witty.
Mark Gattis, who is one of the actors also co-wrote the scripts.
I’ll say no more…don’t want to spoil it for you 😎
Thank you, Betsy. Yes, I prejudged too and have read Doyle — one of my favorites including Rex Stout, Agatha Christie, Chesterton’s Father Brown…
Adorable, I spot the one. Very cute. Ty Auntie. Cheers to you & everyone.
👍🏻 😘 😘 😘
3rd from right
Ding Ding Ding!!!! You are a winner, GB!!! 😁👍🏻🏆
Well…..actually…..he moved.
🤣🤣
Very nice! I would consider that an exotic bird if one ever drifted into my back yard.
Took your advice and ordered the The Birders Handbook. My Nat Geo bird guide leaves a bit to be desired.
My bird feeder cam caught a visitor on an unexpected perch (upper left – arrow)
Believe it to be the red shouldered hawk that patrols our area.
You will love the essays. Its a great book.
You have a very nice yard. Have you ever considered putting some type of native evergreen shrubs along the fence? You’ll get some privacy & nesting/hideouts for the birds. Trust me that your bird numbers will increase, and feeder visits.
I have a pair of nesting Red-shouldered Hawks up the road along the river. They come occasionally into my yard and are not a big threat to the birds, but more so for the squirrels. Where I used to live, they are endangered, and here down south, are on the common side. They are gorgeous hawks. Tyvm for the wonderful picture, and chance to talk birds.
Your pool would look mighty inviting soon when it warms up.
Cheers friend
Thank you, Colkitto!
The fence row is the best spot for our tomato and pepper garden. I plant them near the fence posts and train them to grow along the fence. We do have scruffy cedar trees behind us in the green belt. I see a lot of birds come and go from them.
I need an additional acre or ten.
I agree! The red-shouldered hawk is a majestic bird.
And I like the music they create …
A little junco visited our yard this morning joining the crowd of sparrows, cardinals and doves. A few weeks ago I was seeing chickadees but not these past days of very cold and snow.
Oh my, such glorious beauty!! I just watched a large flock of herons soaring overhead, circling as they headed west into the sun. They looked like angels. Must have been close to 50 birds.
Wow that must have been spectacular. I have only ever seen one at a time. One fishing in a creek where I used to live.
I’ve got a little junco in my garage … and the wife keeps asking when I’ll clean it up. 😳😂🤣🤦♂️🤷🏼♂️
Good one. 🤣😂
You’re a great set-up woman, Gram! 🥰🙂
Jan 17, 2024: It’s been 84 ays since Speaker Johnson was elected. The border is still open. We are still funding the corrupt globalist kick-back scam.
Today Speaker Johnson proposes to distract us with the sanctity of human life. While important, the sanctity of our country is still at stake and the House continues to ignore our southern border. Saving our country will give us the power to save lives.
Close the border, stop funding wars, or Shut Down the government! Keep it simple. KISS! Demand recorded votes.
Wishing Speaker Johnson a blessed day and a day recalling previous blessings.

Our high won’t break zero Celsius today. Observed an elegant peregrine while out feeding livestock today but impossible to capture a pix.
We’ve just hit thirty and the snow is dripping off the roof. Our neighbor squirrel has ventured out of his oak to check out the cold white stuff on the ground. Will drop back down around 18° overnight. Icy rain is forecast for tomorrow then a few days warm up. Each day unique unto itself.
CLOUD FORMATIONS
MAN MADE!
Visiting a friend in Tucker, GA today.
Was there from 2pm until about 3:30.
Pretty day, not a cloud in the sky. An ocean of blue around 2pm.
Went outside to take in a nice day. About 210 planes started flying
overhead, leaving white trails. Initially 1, gradually joined by 2 others.
By 2:45 , one quandrant visible through the trees was completely
clouded up. The sky is pretty much peppered by clouds as I type this.
Not a new occurence. I’m at my friend’s a lot, and we’ve commented
on seeing the trails numerous times. This was the first time witnessed
it start to finish.
Do NOT consider it a coincidence. Dekalb County, GA has over 3/4 million
persons in it. Many of whom are being denied a full dose of vitamin D as
we speak.
NOW: Who else is witnessing this?
Where are you seeing it happen?
When? (What time of day)?
Are you in a heavily populated area?
Are you near a general aviation airport?
No chance these planes are flying out of Hartsfield.
Let’s get a dialogue going on this. Because something
is occurring as we speak. And questions need to start
being asked.
Oops, misprint!
It wasn’t 210 planes! Keyboard is acting up.
Initially 1, joined by 2 others. Grand total of 3.
We have it here all the time, one plane at first then two or three others from different direction, criss-crossing the trails that grow and spread out turning into clouds a few hours later or causing g a haze over the sun. We’re in rural north central Mississippi, 2 hours southeast of Memphis.
Chemtrails are real. And a threat to human health. More evil being perpetrated against citizens by the government.
That’s pretty cool weather for Mississippi. That freezing rain is terrible stuff. Hard on wildlife and livestock nevermind people.
Lol, it was 8° last night when I went to bed. We have about 3 inches of frozen solid snow on the ground. I pray for the creatures enduring this bitter cold outside. My husband keeps the bird feeders full, filling them 2 to 3 times a day.
I have a couple cows due to calve soon and I’m hoping they hold off right?
It was 13 here this morning.
Early psychedelic pop. Wait for it … at 1:45 there’s a sweet little psychedelic lead guitar run. Yes, the psychedelic sound even crept (seamlessly) into soft, waltz, rock … Bee Gees soundalike rock … what is it called now? “Yacht rock”? Hahaha ha That label slays me with its absurdity.
At the end of the day, this is just a sweet, really sweet, innocent song of the late 1960’s … just when … as Tarantino tried to wipe-away with his revisionist Hollywood historical fantasy – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood … The Manson murders took away all the “Peace and Love” innocence of the Boomer generation and replaced it with the dark reality of Satanic forces that forced us all to grow up … really suddenly and fast …
Kenji: I picked up an early David Bowie vibe, with bits of guitar and singing reminiscent of the beginning of Bowie’s “Starman.”
Oh … and every part of the music was so carefully crafted to isolate and celebrate each instrument and voice … and I must say I really dig the bass line … so sweet. Starts out so simple and then explodes

EVENING REFLECTIONS
Thank you, dear friend. These are beautiful 🙏🏻💕
Sleep well everyone 😘🌙💤
From Ladies of the Canyon … yes, Laurel Canyon … hippie haven. What an amazing talent … too bad she’s gone half crazy
And yes … I’ve got my preorder all set up: https://mofi.com/products/joni-mitchell-ladies-of-the-canyon
Interesting lyrics … that begin with a 10yo
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you’re older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
Interesting that another song I quite like references 10yo as her age when the first suitor showed up …
You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away?
You touch, I have no choice (ooh, ooh)
I have to stay (ooh)
Ooh, I had to stay
Ooh, I had to stay
I recall my age 10 in 1965 (really 1966 as I have a Dec. birthday) … it was the year I spent in my grandmother’s garage listening to the rock music of the day … and even opening the lp Revolver next door at my best friends house and only liking or understanding about half the lp. But being completely blown away. I already owned Rubber Soul … but this was sooooo different and trippy. I had free range of the neighborhood, including swaths of undeveloped hillsides where we hiked, built tree forts, and explored nature.
10yo was the age when I was filled with self-confidence, and really thought I understood LIFE, and PEOPLE, and how the world worked. I’d call it MY first year of enlightenment. And the first year when I really started thinking about girls … and the stories my slightly older next door neighbor told me about his personal conquest of girls drove my imagination wild. Perhaps 10yo … is … something of a significant time in the maturation of children. It sure felt that way to me.
This from Tusk … which I believe is the GREATEST Fleetwood Mac lp. It may not have been their most successful commercial lp … but it is hands down their best music. This is from the Alternative Tusk lp which was issued on RSD. I actually like it BETTER than the production version as the songs are simply more RAW … and the emotion that drove their creation shines through unfiltered.
a favorite ❤️
thanks for posting kenji
Just once I would like to see a network news program run a couple stories and then announce “And that’s it. Nothing else worth mentioning happened today anywhere in the world, so for the next hour we will play soothing music accompanied by some photos of beautiful landscapes from around the world. Good night.”
But how can they frighten you and tell you how to think if they do that?
Gazan ‘Civilians’ Involved in Every Stage of Hamas Hostage Scheme, Freed Israelis Say

Apropos of nothing … this is hands-down the greatest song ever crafted by Queen. Yeah, yeah … Bohemian Rhapsody … Wayne’s World … yadda yadda yadda. That was a great tune … but IMHO … Somebody to Love is even better. Great video too.
Pleasantly surprised at how good the movie bohemian rhapsody was.
Yes! This is my # 2 (behind Boh. Rhaps.) on my Queen list of favs. Most Excellent arrangement.
Tomato tommatoh… however … I believe Somebody to Love showcases Freddie’s vocal range much more than BR. His vocal is simply otherworldly
I’d agree with you on showcasing FM’s vocal talent / range.
I’ve always liked the Rhapsody above a lot of tunes of all artists. Just hits my ears well. I’m a former acapella singer so big bold multi voice arrangements capture my attention and then the musical accompaniment and general operetta style really made it unique.
Persecution of Christians continues, and may be growing.
Remember, for just one other example of persecution of a Christian made public and loss of freedom of speech, the English Catholic lady who prayed the Rosary silently, across the street from an abortion ‘clinic’. She was arrested for thinking incorrectly. In England! not North Korea.
Now this: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/finnish-prosecutor-takes-mp-to-supreme-court-for-tweeting-bible-verses/
“Despite having been acquitted of hate speech twice, Finnish M.P, Päivi Räsänen may still have to face another day in court on the same charges.
The Finnish public prosecutor has appealed the case to the country’s supreme court.”
(Why? personal vengeance? there seems to be a lot of that about lately.)
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Thank you, Andeclain. I was making soup and the alarm still isn’t working, and I lost track of time, etc., etc.
Amen
Amen.
