The Harbinger

Three years ago, ten baby cottonwoods hatched in my cross flowerbed. On a muddy, snowy autumn day, Hubby and I dug up the little saplings (average size, 10 inches) and transplanted them to the backside of an alfalfa field where they would benefit from irrigation water and, in turn, provide shelter to livestock and wildlife.

This is one of those transplants. One of the leaders is about 8 feet tall, which is not particularly impressive.


But, upon closer inspection, we see evidence that the tree is already fulfilling one of its primary purposes! 

A bird's nest, the first of many to come


“For everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory.” –ROMANS 11:36 (TLB)
