I thought "Wow, he has an interesting personality""and into my mind popped a deliciously wacky friend who just passed on last month. I then thought about this friend and how he always surprised me and made me chuckle, etc. Who knows?<br /><br />I would like to think he has come back as a bird who can soar and be free of all his pain at the end of his life.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-61756130534698327662016-12-09T16:16:56.986-06:002016-12-09T16:16:56.986-06:00Perhaps he has a message for you?!Perhaps he has a message for you?!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227263124988120167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-72971733941806761602016-12-09T09:48:07.385-06:002016-12-09T09:48:07.385-06:00Ha, Joan, indeed.

No chipmunks down here! I do remember them as a little girl in Chicago however. I forgot that I used to have a skunk pass through the garden - I wouldn't see it but could smell it, ha. Hasn't been around for years - guess it went over the mountains and did not come back...or something. <br /><br />I'm sure Alejandro would love your garden and wildlife. There IS wildlife in Mexico City, just a different kind!Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-21188073449024456542016-12-08T06:52:01.129-06:002016-12-08T06:52:01.129-06:00Well, I don't have anything as exotic as a coa...Well, I don't have anything as exotic as a coatamundi, but I have quite a menagerie in my back yard... lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and an occasional skunk. And there are lots and lots of deer who view my garden as a salad bar. Whenever Alejandro is up here visiting, he is rather fascinated with the wildlife since he doesn't see that in Mexico City.Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-9679322424901697312016-12-07T20:52:59.397-06:002016-12-07T20:52:59.397-06:00Crynoutloud - Love love love your post!

What a gift and it has made me more aware of several things I had not noticed in a long time.<br /><br />I love hearing about Aunt Mary. Truly we are on the same page. Often in Nature, I see the unexpected shortly after someone has come to my mind. It still startles me, but then, I just smile and I too am thrilled to "get the message". <br /><br />I so believe there is another plane of existence.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.......Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-29857040638806043712016-12-07T20:14:53.386-06:002016-12-07T20:14:53.386-06:00Hola Babs,

She awakens the mind with awareness as changes of perceptions are unfolding. He stirs psychic abilities and brings to consciousness latent healing gifts and creativity. Determination, focus and tenacity and using your power to its fullest potential is what Grackle can show you. At this time there is a magic of the unseen worlds coming forward. Listen to intuition as it will guide in understanding the connection to all things.<br /><br />One time, the day after my wife's Aunt died, I was hiking down a fairway on the Prairie Path. Something made me stop and turn. I looked up and on the overhanging branch of a bent tree was a big great horn owl. It was so close, it scared me. I felt instantly it was Aunt Mary. I was thrilled knowing she would be close to us still. And of course her message to me that day was: wisdom. Be wise. crynoutloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882745315258580828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-66027021791647894102016-12-07T16:50:46.239-06:002016-12-07T16:50:46.239-06:00Thanks Steve, I had no idea what kind of bird it i...Thanks Steve, I had no idea what kind of bird it is.

They have an amazing range of sounds and are known to mimic other birds. They tend to fill the intelligence niche crows and jays would otherwise occupy.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.com
