I was amazed at the stories she told me about a neighbor named Mary, who is a published author and photographer and is a a lover of nature and all beautiful things that it had to offer. She told me of her gentleness and the passion she has in her heart for God's creatures. She also has taken some pretty awesome pictures of flowers, which you know is right up my alley. She blogged yesterday on her site http://tingsgrove.blogspot.com/ and posted a couple of pictures and a paragraph taken on and about my daughter. Nestled in a tree with split branches my former husband ,before his passing, had placed an old tin roofed birdhouse. He then planted a tiny sprig of ivy that has since embraced the tree and growing higher each year. While I was there I took a picture so similiar to hers it is canny and when I saw it on her post this morning I was amazed. Visit Mary's site...for some interesting stories as well as photos that will relax you,humble you,and make you know how very lucky we are,indeed, to be a part of God's plan. Mary has since requested me as a friend and now I hope I can keep up on this amazing lady!!!!!!Jeanie Merrittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-80280536580683069822012-04-12T13:17:06.172-07:002012-04-12T13:17:06.172-07:00Well done Mary!

The hawk probably dove to get a chippy, or something and hit the vehicle in doing so. Most are killed outright. <br />I did make it in time for my needle injection to my knee.<br />There will be updates, but it is going to be a long recovery, weeks. I will try to get some photographs, but that may also be slow going. <br />Thank you again~Mary Howell Cromerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473298562829352582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-69424532356344140942012-04-11T01:45:09.308-07:002012-04-11T01:45:09.308-07:00Good shots and am sure he will be alright soon!
