PS
Kerry , I hear that there is a Dutch clover , mini and micro
clover for lawns that helps fill in with a clover lawn.
They stay under the lawn mover when lawn is being cut.

There may be a problem with translation. I don't understand
Hebrew that well; but when it says goes on four legs, it may
mean crawling along on the ground as in "whatsoever goeth on its
belly."
KJV Leviticus 11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and
whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet
among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye
shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Locusts seemed to be okay since they walked on their hind feet.
The Jewish Encyclopedia has an article on insects and the Hebrew
grammar; but I admit I still don't understand the grammar part.

> I notice in your post Kerry the Queens beekeeper informed the
bees of the Queens death , respectfully and asked them not to
leave. Yet with the story of the grandad who was a bee keeper .
They swarmed all over his farmhouse ,then hung over his grave
for a week , then never seen again! Obviously no one
respectfully spoke to them. So they had no focus and didnt feel
safe.

I'm thinking maybe it works that way only for bees who have a
relationship with their owners. Farmers can rent bees here in
the US to pollinate their crops; and when that job is done, the
bees get shipped back to the business which rented them out.

God was his maker too and they had one Father who loved them .
The bull stopped and listened . After that he always prayed for
animals .

Once when he as riding miles to preach , his horse dropped down
u dry him . He laid hands and prayed over it , and it jumped up
and he wasn’t late for the meeting. Which usually consisted of
thousands of people , standing for hours on end , listening in
the open fields of England.

Wonderful stories. I had a vision once (back when I was still
having them) of the face of an ass. It had beautiful eyes and
its whole face was glowing. I wish I could paint pictures
better. We didn't "speak" verbally, but somehow I knew that
that ass had been present at Jesus' birthplace in the stable.
Did that give Jesus a special relationship with that species?
Just wondering -- but perhaps so. It couldn't have been the same
animal he rode on his return to Jerusalem with people chanting
Hosanna. I bet the animal enjoyed having Jesus ride on him. A
little of creation had some of its groaning removed.

Wasps can be nasty and aggressive. The old houses here have air
spaces in the attic to let out some heat; and the house I lived
in at the time got a wasp nest in the attic. I was amazed when
I saw it. I knew they don't move fast when it's cold, so I
waited until the nighttime to take action. I armed myself with a
garbage bag, a stick and a can of insecticide. When I checked
the nest out, there were no wasps in sight. I covered the nest
with the bad, broke it away from the roof with the stick and
then sprayed the inside of the bad with the bug spray. Years
later, a wasp nest appeared in the back yard; and I took care of
it the same way.
I'm still trying to understand the spiritual side of things; but
for now, I'm thinking humans even if "unclean" can produce "good
works" if they show love and work together. If the Holy Spirit
of Love is present, maybe it can purify all things?

Yes, indeed. I have some small clover in with the bigger. It
took me a while to figure out it wasn't younger plants waiting
to get bigger.

I found a lovely picture of purple/pink clover which I was going
to post on here but then I lost it. Ah well we all know what
clover looks like. When i was a child we used to pluck the
petals off and suck out the sweet nectar.
Over here the small clover is white and the larger one is
pink/purple,

When I as a child we used to suck the nectar from fuchsias, and
I always used to worry whether it might be poisonous.

I think I could still whistle through the grass. The secret was
to get it a taut as possible between your thumbs.
