Saw my first Black-throated Gray Warbler and Common Yellowthroat, today -- which puts me one bird away from 100 on my Life List! 📃🪶👀

Ha, yeah, I'm trying hard to be-leaf it is fall (despite the high of 100 today! 🫠😅)

Maybe someday I'll be able to speak in front of a group of people without breaking into hives, but today is not that day. 🥲

Today's the Feast of St. Francis. He preached to animals, called the sun and moon his siblings, and believed all creation to be his family. He reminds us that the whole multiverse is made by God and worships him by its own existence. How blessed are we to be in his magnum opus?

Today let us celebrate the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi who died 800 years ago yesterday. Francis is patron saint of the environment, peace, and animals. The best of all saints! When my veterinarian did not know Leia's age or birthday, she assigned her St Francis' feast day of October 4.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.
