Through My Eyes - Hidden Treasures

Hidden Treasures

My husband and son enjoy playing disc golf. So, we've dedicated a large portion of our property to a disc golf field. It is made up of three posts that stick up called "bong" poles, because of the sound they make when they are hit. (eventually we'll get baskets) My son and husband have mowed out greens and fairways for throwing and I have walking paths around the course and through it. The rest, we just let it grow. So there are all sorts of flowering weeds and plants, etc. that grow out there.

When I'm out walking I take my camera, because I never know when I'll see something that I just have to have a picture of.

When they are play disc golf and I am out walking sometimes they need my "keen eyes" to help find a disc that flew off course and landed in the "meadow". (That's the polite name to call a weedy area on someone's property.

)

So, we all line up and walk side by side, looking straight down in front of us to see who will be the first to spot the missing disc.
Sometimes, I've spotted a beautiful spider, or other insect, or flower. But this time it was a nest . . .

I almost put my foot right on top of it. I was SO excited I stopped looking for the disc and took several pictures. (Good thing too, 'cause I tried to go back and find it and I couldn't.)
What an unexpected hidden treasure.

Have a blessed day!

Oh, how beautiful!

Isn't it precious how God sends little "tokens" of His love for us throughout the day by declaring His majesty even in the littlest things?

Hi Marie. We three drove up to the reservoir with C.'s cousin once to play Frisbee golf. C's cousin and also C's brother are very good at it. I didn't even know it existed before then. lol I think I heard there are even competitions for it. Maybe we will see Forrest's name in lights some day. :)

The knitting is coming along nicely. I am tickled that E. could change my blog's looks. She is also working on a Year of the Pie button for my side bar.

We interlibrary loaned the The Gallant Mrs. Stonewall Jackson and picked it up yesterday. Margaret is chomping at the bit to read it. She read bits of the last few pages while we were in the truck and she said it may be a book that will make her cry.

Take Care, Tell all we said Hello.

Neat. I wonder what kind of birds they were. It may be providential that you let that part of your property go "weedy" some birds are ground layers and depend on a higher pasture during egg laying time.
