On Wings Like Eagles

Happy Friday Friends! One of the many things I'm thankful for concerning winter in Colorado is that Bald Eagles nest here. I am always in awe when I see Eagles soaring over us. That is one of the joys of living here in Colorado and I never tire of the majesty of the Eagle. In spite of my whining about the lack of warm sunshine, I was again reminded of the joy of winter when my daughter texted me these photos. Last evening as they were heading to Costco they spotted this beauty and her hubby pulled over to get the following shots. Not only did they thrill me, but I know that the five kiddos in the car were equally excited! For your viewing pleasure~

Here is our son-in-law getting the shots.  Hubby and I are so blessed by both our son-in-laws whom are more like sons to us.  They are incredible men, husbands, fathers, son-in-laws, brothers, friends and they both minister life to us.  We couldn't be more proud of them and are so very thankful! We are also very thankful for our daughters making such incredible choices for their hubbies.
I hope you enjoyed a bit of Colorado this morning. 

We will be getting lots of snow today and this weekend, so will be staying in.  Our youngest and her family will be heading to Mount Rushmore;  I will be praying for safe travels for them all.

Happy Monday

It's a new week my friends, filled with endless possibilities and chances to embrace life to the fullest. Well, I'd love to say that hubby got these shots yesterday while golfing but he didn't have any good shots-so I borrowed them from last year's post. Today will be the fourth day in a row that hubby will be golfing; so unlike typical winters in Colorado, but we are loving it!
 So what did you think of the Superbowl? More importantly, what did you think of the commercials and half time show? As for the game, the 49er's were our old home team and since the Bronco's didn't end up there, I was routing for them. O.k. I'll say sort of; actually when I saw how well the Raven's were playing, I switched sides. It was a good game; got to say some of the commercials were spectacular and some left a lot to be desired. My favorite ads were of course the Budweiser ad, the tribute to our armed forces and yes the tribute to our farmers. I loved seeing the children's choir singing and Jennifer Hudson did a good job too, but I could have totally skipped the half time show. In fact, that is when we were cooking dinner.
 I am pleased to say that I feel so much better again today; and I seriously need to get back to the gym. Amazing how missing a couple of weeks can add on the pounds-even when I walk during the week. I hope you have a good day today and remember to look around you-you might see something incredible, like a Bald Eagle.
Hunter is in heaven having Lily here; I will say that at four yrs old, she is acting more like an old lady who gets tired of the young pup wanting to play constantly.  This morning though, they are playing non-stop; we are about ready to head out for a walk and I'm sure by the time our daughter comes to get Lily, Hunter will be ready for a nap.   I'm so thankful that they get along well; it makes it so much more fun for them and for us.
Joy to you~Noreen, Hunter and Lily

They Are Back

 

Every winter we are blessed with the migration of not only Canadian Geese, but also with Bald Eagles. I remember the first time we saw some-I was so in awe of the majesty of these birds. I still feel the same way today. Hubby spotted at least four yesterday while golfing and he got this shot for me. Even with our telephoto, it is hard to see the beauty of these birds. I am sure we won't be leaving the house without our camera or cell phones-which take really good photos.
 I'd love to tell you all that whatever I'm dealing with-cold or allergies is gone but it isn't. In fact, it got worse yesterday and is more in my sinuses and head than during the week. So I'm really taking it slow today; got a new book to read and review, so I'll be on the couch. Actually, I did try to replace a dead-bolt lock on our front door but the hole in the door needs to be larger so I'm waiting for honey to get back from golfing. Have a wonderful weekend friends!
 Hugs, Noreen

Beauty of Creation

This morning I took hubby out to our town lake to see if we could spy any Bald Eagles. The morning is cloudy and cool and the eagles were not congregating like they did yesterday but we did get some shots. Mind you, I started out with just showing four photos but if you are anything like I am, the more the better so I added two. Here is an adult sitting majestically on the lake, watching intently the activity around it.

A baby~we've been told that they will not get all their white feathers until they are mature at about 5 yrs old.

Aren't they spectacular!!

On another note, to those dear friends that have prayed for Faith's arm to heal~this morning she had an x-ray and it is doing well so she'll not need pins and will get her cast off March 10th.

Thank you from our family for keeping her in your thoughts.

Have a glorious day!
