This is not a typical 4th of July post in that there is no red, white, or blue craft in it. Instead, I want to celebrate a little of what makes America great for me. It's the small things.It's the kindness of strangers, the willingness to help, and Yankee ingenuity just to name a few.
Not too long ago my neighbors discovered a teeny tiny hummingbird egg smashed on the deck outside their apartment. Turns out, the bottom of the nest was weak and the eggs were dropping as fast as mama bird could lay them. (If ever I could relate to a hummingbird it was this one.) Well, my neighbors used a bit of creativity to solve that problem with a cotton ball and some surgical tape.
Mama bird laid more eggs and now there are two baby hummingbirds thriving. You can just see their heads and beaks here.
| Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.” | |
A special thanks to our military men, women, and families. YOU are our cotton ball and surgical tape!
