He (the serpent) said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” ~ Genesis 3:1b
I have nothing interesting to share about today. We drove 98 miles in two hours, in order to get close to my brother David. He’s lived in Alabama for many years. Even picked up the accent. 😊
But oh, no! Looks like traffic is really backed up here!
The real hold-up was beyond our exit.
Thank You, Lord!
Carson Village, Birmingham, Alabama
It’s actually a mobile home park that has a few campsites.
Since I have nothing interesting from our day, enjoy these snippets from the newsletter the Carson Village office gave us when we checked in:
Pass the Parm: A classic topper for pizza and pasta, Parmesan cheese is one of the healthiest cheeses. It’s the most protein-dense of all cheeses and an excellent source of calcium and phosphorous. Because true Parmesan is aged, it contains very little lactose and can be easier to digest.
Get Wise About Owls:
- An owl can turn its head almost all the way around without moving its body. Unique bones in the bird’s neck allow it to twist to the left or the right 270 degrees.
- Owls need this ability because they can’t move their large eyes, their most notable trait. Working like binoculars, an owl’s eyes are tube-shaped and fixed in place.
- They’re known for their hooting calls, but some owls hiss, whistle, growl or bark.
- Owls have such sensitive hearing, they can detect a mouse under snow.
- Why are owls considered wise and used to symbolize knowledge? In Greek mythology, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was often depicted with owls.
- In Japan, there are owl cafes, where you can hang out with the birds while drinking tea.
- At about 5”, the elf owl is the tiniest owl species. Compare that to the great gray owl, which can be over 30” tall.
All I can say is . . . WOW!!!!
