1/2 Well, I guess my home has become a wildlife waystation in the city. A couple weeks ago it was the sunk family:Momma, Alvin, & four siblings. A couple nights ago a young raccoon hung out on the patio for a couple hours & refused to be scared away.

2/2 Guessing he was curious about our huge young cat watching him. Tonight there was a 1” praying mantis that crawled on my hand while washing freshly picked basil. Now my husband informed me that a large opossum ate all our feral’s food this evening. On the patio, of course.

Someone has taken over everything. Guess she likes the filtered water from our new refrigerator, too.

This pretty little girl came to us in Feb injured and starving. We fed her, took her to the vet for all the things, & gave her a safe place to rest.for the first 2 weeks, all she did was eat & sleep.

In March she was barely limping & recently has been celebrating Spring with the zoomies. She caught a mourning cloak butterfly yesterday & was disappointed when I made her let it go. This morning, she was finally able to repay us…by leaving a dead fledgling mockingbird by my husband’s patio chair. Yep…thanks…? 🥴

112 cookies baked, cooled, & [most of them😋] packed up for my husband to take to class. He teaches one class at a university - at dinner time - & his students are almost universally famished. Homemade cookies help them get through the 3 hours awake. 😁

More than usual tonight because it’s project presentation night. Extra mouths to feed include evaluating panel members & a couple spectators.

Friends, I’d like to encourage you to take your needs & requests directly to God the Father. He made Himself accessible thru Jesus . “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” ~Hebrews 4:16

“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ~Hebrews 10:19-22
