day before leaving, was Momma giving advice to each baby bird? getting set time to leave the nest time to fly! Baby robins grow up so fast. I watched them go from bare bodies to fluffy feathers in just over a week. And off they went sometime yesterday. Unfortunately I had neither the time or ability to sit at my window long enough  to capture their leaving, but I know they did because their nest is empty today. I wish them a good life. visit Rebecca and others at Haiku My Heart linking to SOOC

Coca~Cola tray, like the one in Mom's cafe, sparks warm memories. My mom owned a restaurant  through my teen years. When a tray was needed to carry food and/or drinks  to the customer, this was one  I often used because of the advertisement of my favorite soda then, and still is. After Mom died,  my younger brother explained to me, as he held  the tray, that Mom  wanted him to have it.  It's probably best that I don't recall what, if anything,  I retorted. But I never stopped wanting  a tray  just like the one pictured.  Luckily I had a loving hubby who bought this tray for me  at an auction . advance to... ABC WEDNESDAY

Dearest Mother Mary, I desire faith, faith as deep as the one my kitty Jax has in me. As neatly tied up and ever available as I picture yours was when the angel Gabriel announced your role in the birth of Our Lord. Help me to have the vision of the path that leads to your Son with clarity and steadfast faith. Amen more Mornings with Mary

 hungry one? the nest seems crowded Mom still feeds?  I had problems sighting the babies today because with feathers they are better camouflaged. I imagined that soon they'd leave the nest. Then I googled and found this video . So soon they will be gone. more macros at Macro Monday 2 and I Heart Ma cro

 a dedication to the mem'ry of my mom from my hubs and me After Mass a few weeks ago, my former partner teacher told me that she has been repairing our song books by taping the covers to the insides of the well-worn books. She had run across a book with my dedication in it. (on the chapel side where I normally sit.)   In the ten years or more that I've sat there, I had not run across this particular hymnal, and consequently, I'd forgotten about it.  (Our parish members had helped with the big outlay of money for the new books by sponsoring a dedication slip.) So I opened and closed books for the hope  that I'd spot it.   Not successful that week.  But, of course, since I posted it, you can see I was finally fruitful in my seeking. I chose this photo with the hope that this ''postcard'  might be from Paradise! more Postcards from Paradise
