Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we could share the joy of our spring nature finds with one another. In our neck of the woods, there seems to be a sweet surprise awaiting us almost every day.

There was a dove nesting in the hanging plant of my mom's balcony the other day. She sat quite content while my boys examined her and her nesting spot, then flew away just long enough for them to take a peek inside and spot her two perfect little eggs. They were thrilled.

Yesterday was a day full of backyard bug hunting--the find of the day? A wooly bear caterpillar about three quarters of the way into his cocoon. We gently placed him into a jar, where he promptly attached to a stick and spent the evening finishing up his project...now we watch and wait.

So much fun to be had in the spring! What little surprises are hding in your backyard?
