Mudville lies joyless

Air temperature 59 F, wind SE about 5 mph, hazy sunshine. Supposed to rain later. Do I mow the lawn first? Such momentous decisions mark our days.

Under surveillance

Opened the shades of our bedroom this morning, to find a song sparrow staring at me. They seem to have filed us as "mostly harmless" and just go about the business of feeding youngsters. If I mow, I will stay away from that bush.

Wasted words

41 “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. 42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’

45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’

(no subject)

So I mowed little buttercup, dear little buttercup . . .
. . . also dear little hawkweed and dear little dandelion and dear little ground ivy. Hope I didn't disturb the song sparrows too much.
