Quote for the Week - Baby birds

Our little babies have learned to fly! Right after I took this picture one of them flew to a nearby pine tree. I found myself saying, "You did it, way to go!" Why not, we all need someone to cheer us on.

From this...

to this in about two weeks. Pretty amazing!

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

The bluebird carries the sky on his back. ~Henry David Thoreau

If God had really intended men to fly, he'd make it easier to get to the airport. ~George Winters

Angels can fly because they carry no burdens. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book

Whenever we safely land in a plane, we promise God a little something. ~The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
