Snow covered, white-white pelicans

This morning snow arrived, quite early for Illinois in November. As I glanced out the window, about two dozen white pelicans huddled on the tree limbs sticking out of the water on the lake. On top of their feathers were piles of snow flakes blending into their “whiteness” making them look like giant marshmallows.

They are temporary residents of Lake Springfield, on their way south for the winter. Undoubtedly, if pelicans can communicate with their leader, they are mumbling, “Let’s get moving on. This water and air is just too cold for our feathers.

As I went out the front door, what do I see, but a trio of robins, a jumpy squirrel, and three deer entertaining me. They too probably would prefer the warm breezes of spring. The Lord, however, has other plans for us. At least with the white, fluffy covering on the lawn, I do not have to feel guilty not raking the last of the leaves.

God does know what is best for us. We each need to trust Him, just like our wild life friends.

Take a moment and check into my new blog. I hardly know how to create and add, but together we can learn. (Somedays I wish my birthday candles announced the age sixty-five- not eighty-four.)   https://www.kathrynransom.com/welcome-to-ransom-notes-by-kathryn-ann-ransom/
