We have a momma Gambel's Quail that has moved in to a space right outside our little strawbale house. There is a log on the ground under our roof and the bird has found a really nice spot that is pretty well hidden and shaded. Despite the nice location and our attempts to give the bird space, every time we come or go from our house the quail nervously bails from her nest leaving her clutch of eggs behind. Today we saw a little bird that had emerged from one of the eggs. The hardest part is keeping the dog out of the nest!Today, Marine Corporal Kyle Carpenter received the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan. Corporal Carpenter threw himself on an enemy hand grenade to save his fellow Marines and suffered devastating injuries to his arms, face, torso and even lost an eye. The young man was 21 years old and does not fancy himself a hero. Honestly, it is a miracle he is alive. Kyle Carpenter is now pursuing a degree in psychology at the University of South Carolina and looking for ways to give back to other wounded veterans.
I am not a religious person but today's quote was a Bible verse read by President Obama at the ceremony to present Corporal Carpenter with his medal. The verse is John 15:13.
"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends..."
