Over the past week we have noted that our bird-feeder, just outside the north window of my wife's study, has been consumed every night by a mysterious guest. Regardless of how full it is during the day, its empty the next morning ... and now we are noticing the wood ledge around it is also being stripped ..... evidently our ghostly visitor is not just satisifed with just the seeds inside it ... I've half a mind to stay awake one night to spy on the guilty party ... except the other half of my mind is insisting on going to sleep, and rules the night! Perhaps if I start taking the bird-feeder in at night our mysterious guest will be forced to appear during daylight hours when it's more likely to be exposed ... but that takes away the mystery. On that mysterious note, I went to the Library today and brought home the book 'The Heretic's Daughter,' a historical novel about the Salem Witch Trials.
'Follow truth wherever you find it,
even if it takes you outside your preconceived
ideas of God or life.
Even if it take you outside your own country
into most insignificant alien places like
Bethlehem.' -George Macleod
We've got a new bird feeder! This one has a lever so that if a squirrel gets on a spring snaps and all the feeding holes are covered!
