A Day of Nature

Friday

Dear Elsie

Wow! Today was a day of nature for sure. It began with a majestic sunrise.

Then, after the sun rose, I noticed a lone baboon on the roof of the house across the road.I learned his name is Sagweba. From the whatsapp group…

Sagweba made his way up the mountain behind our neighbour’s house and chilled there for a while.

But then he decided to seek some shade so he climbed into the neighbour’s garden and spent a good amount of time under the tree.

Eventually, he upped & climbed over the fence onto our stairs. He then passed Courage and Brian who gave him a wide berth and climbed over our back fence and went onto the mountain. Courage and Brian were spellbound. So frozen were they, they didn’t think to call us and I was told about it when I went to check to see if the baboon was still there. Then I got the story! Sagweba was last seen in Glencairn.

While he was mooching on the mountain, a number of whales were moseying around the bay. This was a mother with her calf.So close to the shore and causing quite a traffic jam between Sunnycove and Glencairn. Such a treat to have such a diverse and rich abundance of nature around us. The amaryllis is almost a bouquet.

When God is silent, He is not absent. The display of beauty around us today is evidence of that.

Isaiah 7:9

If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx 🙂
