Sharing Mother's Day
I wanted to share with readers my special Mother's Day. You open the above card and up pops a mother bluebird and her hungry babies. I adore bluebirds and only once have we had a family in a birdhouse. Now I've got my own to enjoy.
The symbol of the pilgimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain is a scallop shell. For centuries pilgrims walking the Camino have worn a shell as a symbol of their pilgrim status. My son sent me lovely scallop shell earrings and pendant along with the bluebird card. As I set out on my journey, I'll do so with bluebirds and silver scallop shells. What a thoughtful son and what a wonderful Mother's Day!
