Chipmunks Galore

I truly have a love/hate relationship with these guys! On the one hand they drive me crazy getting into every thing and eating plants and birdseed and chirping loudly often!

And they're everywhere I turn, these two were just a few feet apart!

And on the other hand, sometimes they are so cute! This little fellow with the tattered ear made my day while out hiking.

A Still, Soft Voice

Sometimes the madness catches up to you and you need to just take a moment, alone, in the woods to breath.

Then God, or whoever you believe in, whispers softly in your ear when you weren't even listening for Him.

Proof, you do not have to be listening in order for Him to speak.

Indian Pipe is flower I longed to see, last year I managed to spot some, nearly dead, but was thrilled. This year, while I wasn't even looking, but was merely moping there it was. It's been a rough week, several people weighing heavily on my mind - worrying about their hearts and health. And still, I was not blind to the beauty, I took the time to listen.
