Miracle on the Sunshine Coast

In the last day it has been turning into a place of miracles. For one miracle, yesterday I was just standing there with my arm outstretched and after quite a few tries a squirrel came and started eating out of my hand! Now I know why it is called Dream Valley here! The reason the squirrel came to my hand is because he loves sunflower seeds and other big nuts. We have a mixture of those and tiny little seeds (he hates those) to feed the birds. We usually put them on the deck, and in bowls spread around the garden here. Lots of birds come and a few squirrels. I picked out all the sunflower seeds and put them in my hand, and made sure there were no sunflower seeds or bigger nuts on the deck. After I got all those, the squirrel came. His paws felt like heavy little feathers. He kept coming and took more than three seeds from my hand! 

Another miracle is that yesterday was the most beautiful day we have had. And today...it is snowing! It is really a place of miracles.
