Grotto

You have to walk up a few steps to peer inside of this grotto and as your eyes adjust to the darkness you will see little bird figurines tucked into the rock crevices.

Sometimes it takes years to me to figure things out. Embarrassing but true. I had wondered why I was compelled to take this 'Way of the cross' walk on my birthday. I am not even Catholic but my mother in law was and I loved her very much. She died shortly before I moved out to rural Minnesota and here is the why; she and I share the same birthday. :)

Extra quiet today. Minnesota now has 'stay at home' rule. The morning is grey and misty, birds were singing in the dark and the coffee maker got up (started brewing) before I did.
