Today I walked as usual in the noon heat. I hadn't expected any creatures to be about and was overjoyed to see a pair of blue herons rise up over the creek. The wings were massive as I was so near, ands yet so far as trees, shrubs, and winding creek obscured good view. One perched atop the fallen beaver logs and I waited awhile, peering before moving forward again. As I stopped to increase my rock collection, I saw rocks tumbling near a culvert opening. A badger poked its nose out, not once but twice before deciding to stay inside. I took that opportunity to select two new rocks and waited again, hoping for another glimpse. I gave up first and continued on in the heat. I was melting and was so looking forward to the turning point where I would again face light breezes. I found a deep blue marble alongside a penny and picked them up for good luck all the day. My henna and clay mask arrived at health food store so after both jobs and a pool workout, I'm blogging with a little pampering and a glass of wine.

Isn't it wonderful all the wonderful things in life that come our way if we are open to them? So good you are pampering yourself. Sometimes I think that reading the blogs are just as good as a glass of wine. They give me an intoxicating high!
When I see a blue heron, I think of you and know your spirit is nearby.

Hi lady,
I'm curious if it was a badger or a Ground Hog? I believe badger are up north more then in this area but you know you never know.
But what a great walk to witness the winged ones and the fourlegged ground creatures.
Play with the spirit and keeping you humble to the earth.

I certainly didn't expect a badger, but that's what I saw. Strange I was reading yesterday about blue crabs dying out in the Chesapeake Bay and I had found one last year by the dam!
