Abigail's Beauty
Last Friday evening my husband and I saw a bird in our yard. At the time we did not know what kind of a bird it was. I called her Abigail. She flew over our yard and flew towards the river. Her eloquant flight was exquisite. Then after a while she came back and perched herself on a rock overlooking what I call my rock garden. Abigail looked around and rested for a while. I could not help noticing her beauty and elegance as she rested. I said a little prayer for her and told her she was always welcome here. Abigail then flew off and continued on her own personal journey. I thanked God for her visit and the blessing of His beauty shared by Abigail.
Saturday morning I contacted a local bird sanctuary and asked what type of a bird Abigail may be. They told me Abigail was probably from my description a Great Blue Heron. She was grayish blue and white with a long exquisite neck and long beak. Her wing span was almost a big as a turkey. Her head was blue with gray streaks blended in with the blue. I then googled "great blue heron" and was able to confirm Abigail is a great blue heron. She is also a great beauty and one of many of God's precious gifts. Thank you, Abigail for your visit. God bless you.
God bless all animals.

Sir John's Blessing
About a week ago my family and I were blessed with the surprise visit of a bald eagle, Sir John. It was thundering a bit and raining. Sir John perched himself out on a tree in our back yard. The tree is by the Androscoggin River and one of the limbs is leaning low above the river. Sir John rested on this limb for over an hour.
My husband, daughter and I took turns watching him from the window. We wanted to take his picture but we did not want to go outside and disturb him. He just sat and looked around. Maybe he was waiting out the weather. Maybe he was deciding which was the best fish to catch in the river. We really don't know why Sir John made a visit but we certainly were very blessed by his presence. A few minutes before Sir John left a rainbow appeared in the sky! It was almost like Sir John was leaving us a gift before he was on his way. Tears filled my eyes when he left. I am hoping he returns to visit us soon. God bless you, Sir John and thank you for such a beautiful blessing. God bless all eagles and wildlife.
God bless all animals.

Morning Grace
Many mornings during the week I go up and visit my neighbor. We have a cup of coffee, a small prayer and read a devotional together. She has a big window near the kitchen table where you can look out and see the birds at the feeder. One morning I met Gracie, a hummingbird. She peeked her beak up by the window and stayed for a few minutes. Our eyes met and connected. She began her humming and my heart melted. I told her she was beautiful and I loved her humming. Gracie then flew away as I blew her a kiss and lots of love.
My neighbor told me Gracie comes every morning and greets her. As she peeks her little beak up near the window, my neighbor is reminded that her mother, now in heaven, is still with her. My neighbor's mother used to have several hummingbirds visit every year. Hummingbirds were her mother's favorite birds.
I thought about how God always finds little ways to help us remember we are never alone and we are deeply loved. Thank you and God bless you, Gracie.
God bless all animals.

Freddie, Felicity and Francine's Water Dance
As I said earlier today, the rain keeps on coming. The sun peeped out for a tiny bit but it is still raining lightly. Just before I got supper I looked out the kitchen door, waiting for my husband and there in the rain made pond in the drive way was Freddie, Felicity and Francine Finch. All 3 yellow finches began their water dances. They performed flapping their wings and hopping up and down. One would jump out and dry for a minute and then another. Then the first one would jump back in. This went on for nearly twenty minutes. I completely enjoyed myself watching their performance.
As my husband was pulling in they flew out of the rain pond and on to the grass. I thanked them for such a lovely performance and said goodbye. I blew them a kiss and sent them my prayers and love. I am looking forward to another show really soon. There is nothing like a water dance by 3 exquisite yellow beauties to make you smile on a rainy day. God bless Freddie, Felicity and Francine. Thank you for such a beautiful show and for giving me such a big smile!
God bless all animals.

Pollina's Rainy Day Blessing
It is raining again! For some reason my little dog, Kiely does not like to go out in heavy rain. I knew she had to go out and decided I would take her for a little ride. We went down to the boat ramp a little ways down the dirt road from my yard. As we pulled in I noticed no cars were there. I decided to park by the boat entrance. As I slowly drove to the parking place I noticed Pollina, a snapping turtle sitting in the sand, well mud. Pollina was bigger than Shona, another snappig turtle that visited my yard, recently. I gently drove by Pollina and quietly took Kiely out of the car. Kiely did not seem to notice Pollina. Pollina did not seem frightened as she still had her head out of her shell. Kiely and I walked around and Kiely did her dog business. Of course, we both got soaked. It was time to go, as I was leaving I gently spoke to Pollina and told her I would pray for her and the eggs she was evidently about to lay. Kiely and I went home and got dry.
A few hours later again Kiely was acting like she needed to go out. Again, we went in the car to the boat ramp. Pollina was in the same spot she was in earlier. She was laying her eggs. As I drove by her I glanced and both of our eyes met. I gently told her I was praying and I would watch over her eggs. I was relieved she found a cozy place out of the way of traffic. Kiely and I walked around away from Pollina. When it was time to go I put Kiely in the car and told Pollina that I would be thinking of her. I blew her a kiss and got in the car. While driving back home I thought about the blessing Pollina gave me on such a rainy and kind of dreary day. I decided to stop complaining about the rain and think about the beauty and precious gifts of nature all around me. Thank you, Pollina for your rainy day blessing. Angels are with you and will keep you safe. Your eggs will be guarded by angels and blessed by God. God bless you, Pollina.
God bless all animals.
