Naturally Curious Posts During The Next Few Weeks
I’m writing this post to let Naturally Curious readers know that there may be days in the coming weeks when my Naturally Curious posts don’t appear at their usual early morning time, or perhaps, even at all. I am going to make every effort to not have this happen, but I will often be posting away from home, and not being technologically gifted, I may well have computer-related (or other) issues.
The reason for my being away from home is that my daughter Sadie, who lost her husband last July, discovered a month later that she was pregnant with their baby. The baby is due in two weeks, and I will be with her and Otis and the baby for much of the next month or so. I will keep the blog going during this time, but there may be glitches for which I wanted to apologize in advance! Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and support over the past year and during this time. (Photo: Otis with doting grandmother)
What wonderful news!!!!! We wish you all the time you want to enjoy this blessed time. Will miss you, and love you—but totally understand. What a beautiful family! ❤️

How fortunate they are to have you!

Oh, gosh. What a bittersweet email this is. You certainly deserve to take moments away from delighting us all with your wonderful posts to have your own so important delight with your family. Thoughts are with you. Janet Watton of Randolph Center VT

Mary,
I want to wish you and Sadie and the babie(s) all the best. Never feel like you have to apologize to us about not posting regularly. We love getting them, but you certainly have a lot of other things to do!

Dear Mary,
We’ve never met, but I follow your post and buy your books and calendars, and admire your work. (I am a friend of Kathie Fiveash.) I just wanted you to know that I think of you and your family often, and will especially be holding you in my heart these next few weeks.
All the best,

No problem, Mary (at our end anyway). We surely understand what you are attending- amazingly and wonderfully to with Sadie and Otis.

Hi Mary, Please take all the time you desire to spend with your daughter and your grandchildren, and don’t worry about consistent blog postings. As a grandmother, I know what an important role you are playing.
You give so much to all of us, I think all your readers will be delighted for you to enjoy this time, and will be happy to receive your amazing posts whenever they appear.

Mary, what a gift your daughter has been given by her late husband. I know there must be anxiety over raising two children alone, but to see her love for him come into this world is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Best of everything to you, Sadie, Otis and baby!

I have loved that picture from the first time I saw it. You take all the Time you need! What a journey! Can’t think of anyone I would rather Have on board than you. Steady on!! Love and hugs,Pogo PS. The otter went sliding through after the snows of the past weeks. Might have to think of a night time camera to catch it in action.

No worries. I am so grateful for your sensitive view. Here is mine, a poem:
No species coming into being
is eternal.
How beautiful to taste the light
to breath and be breathed in
by this living world.
This momentary passage
this life.
Many blessings,

Congratulations, Mary, to you and Otis and Sadie! I’m so glad you can be there for your family. All else pales in comparative importance. Sending love from mid-coast Maine! I look forward to hearing your news.
March 18, 2018 at 11:46 am
It looks as if you are a knitter, as well as a naturalist. I do enjoy your posts. I also grieve for your daughter and what seems to me to be a complicated life. The new baby will be exciting, though, and I’m glad you can help. Please give her my best wishes!

I hope all goes well with the birth, etc. Very exciting. We look forward to your posts and learn so much from them but we believe family comes first so if posts are not regular that is fine. Will be thinking of all of you.

Lucky Otis to have you, and I am so sorry you lost your son-in-law. I think Otis looks so much like you. I spent 6 months last year helping care for my first grandson, a precious if tiring time.
Thank you again for your wonderful observations of nature.

Let’s have a big cheer for “doting grandmothers” who are able to help when called upon.

treasure your daughter and these babies… Best of luck for this sweet new baby… good wishes to you all… Thank you Mary… Jenny Sawyer

You have an incredible eye for the natural world. You have an incredible spirit of grace and strength . Your blog does more than educate about the natural world.
March 18, 2018 at 12:30 pm
Mary!! Drop the blog and hug the babies!!!! And Sadie of course. You may send along a photo of the babies if you are at all worried about us. We aren’t going anywhere and will be
sending all of you our blessings. And maybe even a photo or two of one of our findings in the woods…….
March 18, 2018 at 12:32 pm
I wish you and your daughters joy as life continues. It is bittersweet i am sure, but just know that many people who only know you from your posts are wishing you all well.
And may i just add something I am sure you already know, No job in life is more important nor more rewarding than being “grandma”.
March 18, 2018 at 12:37 pm
Thank you Mary.
Enjoy this time with your family.
I will look forward to future posts, but so happy for you that you will have this amazing time with your grandchild and your daughter😄.

All the best wishes for your visit with your daughter and Otis. They are lucky to have your caring presence in their lives just as we, your many readers, are so very fortunate to learn so many delightful insights into the world around us. None of us who follow your wonderful posts would want you to do anything other than what you’ll be doing, so enjoy your time with your family and don’t worry for a moment about your fans.
All the best–and thanks!

I agree with what Nora has said, “Anything you need to do is what we want you to do. Thanks for your work and also including us in family news.”
We’ll still be here if it feels that all you want or need to do is be there with your family.
Baby picture would be welcome, though.
Share what you love of our natural world, if it feels right — you’ve certainly opened my eyes to more and more of it.
March 18, 2018 at 1:14 pm

Grandmothers are a critical part of the ecosystem. Their job is to allow young children be savored (rather than improved) ; loved just the way they are, and accompany children to live authentically and safely in their moment while parents cope with other things.
March 18, 2018 at 1:55 pm
God bless your daughter, her son and the baby almost here, and you. What an emotional birth this will be.

What a wonderful photo! Of course you’ll be there, and none of us will be surprised if you’re too busy to keep to a schedule. No worries; we know that the deer and the turkeys and others all disappear at baby time. This one is so important, and I wish you every joy with the newest grandchild. May your daughter find comfort and peace in the legacy she is about to hold in her arms, and strength to you both for the new beginning.

Dear Mary,
What a surprise, an unexpected new member of you family. And what an adorable picture of Otis with you. Do not worry about sending regular posts. None at all would be understandable, and we can survive (barely) a few weeks without NC posts. Love to you and your family, Jean

Oh my goodness — what a surprise! I’m glad Otis will have a new playmate, who will certainly be blessed to be born into such a loving family. Cherish your time with them all.

My heart goes out to you and your family, Mary. This photo of you and Otis is wonderful. And I’m sure the new baby will bring joy.

I am holding all of you in my heart as you traverse this time with your family. Perhaps your bear pictures and story are meant to parallel the journey that the family now takes. Best wishes, Fran and Walter

Hi Mary, I hope all is well with you and your wonderful family. Now all we need is some of the other kind of sunshine! I’m writing because for the third year in a row I’m blessed with a perfect view of a very photogenic fox den. Just today, four kits emerged for the first time, playful and healthy looking. There are several good, closer vantage points for a patient photographer, and I naturally thought of you. If you’d like, you are most welcome to come over any time. Best Don Metz 623 Clay Road N. Thetford VT
