Great Backyard Bird Count

The backyard bird count started yesterday and goes thru the 16th, but I think the only birds I can count today would be DUCKS. It's raining here this morning and from what I can see on the radar it's going to be around all day.

Gage and I spent last Sunday afternoon together and he and I were going to go down to the point to shoot pictures of the gulls. He had his camera and everything, but the little fellow went to sleep on the ride down to the beach. I just pulled up to the point and sat there and let him sleep. I enjoyed just sitting there watching the boats going and coming. It was peaceful. When Melissa asked him about his afternoon with PawPaw he told her about going to sleep and how I let him nap. Melissa told him something about how much PawPaw loved him and he responded by saying 'Yeap PawPaw loves me just like Jesus'... Wow... when Melissa told me this it just made me so thankful to have Gage to want to spend time with me. To know that you're loved for who you are... Gage and Noah are a pair now... and God knows how I love them.

Well this past week was a big one for me... Tues I added one more mark to age. I've made 53 trips around the sun now... looking back I can't believe the time has gone by so fast. I'm just glad I'm able to enjoy my new age.

I was hoping it was going to be pretty this weekend. I wanted to take Gage out Geocaching. Geocaching is kinda like looking for Easter eggs (that's the best way for me to describe it), it's a high tech game where people hides a log book then post the waypoints and you take your GPS and go out to find it. It's fun to get out and I've gotten some pretty good bird pictures while out.

Speaking of bird pictures... I've got fever for a new lens, the CANON 100-400L MM.. It would be great for my birds and sports shots. I'm still thinking about it... I've got to see how many weddings Debbie has coming up... I need her to have at least 8 so I can afford it... hahahha

I'm going to run for now... I need to call Melissa and check on Gage. She told me last night he was sick yesterday and so is Mary. I don't think she slept much last night either.

The fullness of the moon only multiplies
the emptiness of my soul.
