You Name It Contest

t's the third Thursday of the month and as promised it's time for our second contest!! Last month we posted a photo and for you to guess what you thought it might be. This month I have a story I'd like to share with you.....it's a story my dad shared with me when I was a boy and it has stuck with me for many years. There is a great moral to this story and it's especially relevant in today's political environment.

Soooo here we go....... It was a cold winter day. At the edge of a pasture stood an old pine tree. In the top of the tree was a bird's nest and in that nest a baby bird sat and waited for his mother to bring back a meal. After waiting patiently for some time the little bird became restless and began to toss about. Eventually he fell from the nest and hit the ground. For a little while he enjoyed his new found freedom, but soon he began to get cold. As he got colder he began to protest....tweet tweet tweet you could hear him cry. An old bull happened by and "pooped" on the little bird. The little bird was furious, why would that ole bull do this to me he thought. Then he began to get warm and thought, "this isn't so bad after all." It wasn't long until smell got to him and he began to protest again. Tweet tweet tweet once again you could hear him cry. This time it got the attention of a wolf that was lurking about. The wolf picked the little bird up and washed him off. "What a great guy this wolf is," thought the little bird, but before the thought could leave his mind the wolf tossed him in his mouth and ate him. And the moral of the story is...... you name it! Post comment and let us know what you think it is. We will announce the winner on Monday.

It has been so hot the last few days I thought I would post a couple of winter photos for you.
