Martin Colony History: New to it.

We have loads of birds and new baby heads appear almost every day. Some young are now flying but begging for food from Mama. She sends them on their way. Everything looks well and we have a lot of Songs being sung.

Its a blessing, this year had some tough stories at the end. Texas has heat but we had rain this year thank God so there was food to see them through.
