Today I am Thankful for Writers who share stories; for Inuksuk; for tiny things skittering around the garden

I'm especially thankful for friends and family who send items to share.  Thanks to Pina for this one!

It's great when you can tell stories like this one in THIS LINK   It's called "A Life Without Left Turns", by Michael Gartner.

Speaking of stories, I've come to the age where memories need to be shared, at least for my kids.  There were, fitted around and perhaps plastering over all the ugly stuff, some sort of interesting stories that I'd like to tell.  The problem is that God, in His Mercy, has given me forgetfulness, too.  hehe  I will be able, as is said, to hide my own Easter Eggs, soon.  Maybe this year?


Other, smaller "gratefulnesses"....

Tiny shell "Watering Hole" for insects and our baby lizards We have two species of them in the garden;
Alligators and the Fence, aka the blue bellied lizard.

Some of ours

We have made a couple dozen of them, inuksuk, and they make the kid in me feel happier.  If you still have snow, you can stack smaller cobbles on the bleak windowsills.  The smallest stones will stack.  It's a fun thing to do and wait until a tremor knocks them down.  These little things are surprisingly stable.

Don't let winter get you down.  Spring Really is on the way.  Every day it gets closer.

Papa Dove; I believe it's Papa.

The resident pair of Mourning Doves lost their first setting of eggs to predators, egg stealing Crows most likely.  I'm not fond of nest robbing Crows, but then I just watched a documentary on wild foods, and there are modern humans, living in cities, who still eat baby birds, pealing away the shell of the egg. I guess Crows are not that bad then.
