Whenever Wren plays her cello, the birds flock to the tree just outside our window. This Robin flies in so fast, we sometimes think it will fly right into the room!

We thought that this old tune was a good one, considering all of the birds we have watched this weekend! I’ll Fly Away is a gospel song written in 1929 by Albert Brumley. Supposedly, it’s one of the most commonly recorded gospel tunes out there. I know I grew up with it, and even played it in high school marching band!




We also wanted anyone who’s been following to know that when we went out to check on the owls last night, the mamma owl was there, but in a different place and the baby owl was gone (daddy was gone too). I went again this morning hoping that the baby was just hiding last night. Sadly, the baby wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Since it takes 5 weeks to fledge, we are pretty sure that the owlet was predated. Predators of owls include raccoons, hawks and other owls. We are hopeful that the parent owls will try again, and we are so very thankful for the tremendous blessing it was to know this owl family for a few weeks!
I love that old hymn and it certainly was fun to hear on two cellos! Thank you!
