blog followers are supposed to be like your children. you love them all the same. but as my grandma eva used to say about my sister dee-dee, “i love all my grandchildren just exactly the same, except i love ‘deetsie’ just a little bit more.” well i have to confess that i love all of you just exactly the same except that i love margie just a little bit more. margie (aka resurrection fern) began commenting on this blog almost from day 1. she commented every day, finding something sweet, or supportive, or insightful, or informative to say, every day, as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. in the nearly 5 years since i started this blog, we have communicated, through comments or through instagram, at least weekly, and often more than that. she is a fellow nature geek. a lover of her children and grandchildren. a wanderer out of doors. a devoted and attentive reader of posts. an attention payer. and a crafter of no little talent. one of her crafts is to crochet covers for stones, and i have been the grateful recipient of several of them over the years. today, in honor of a friend i have never met, whom i love as if we had grown up together, i offer my still blog take on a resurrection fern covered stone. thank you margie. i can’t wait until we find our way into one another’s presence some day.
