Nature Notes
When I visited Scotland, the weather was quite similar to
what we had at home. Bulbs were just starting to bloom in a few places. As I
rode on the train south to Cumbria I could definitely see a difference in that there was a lot more green and more
flowering bulbs. In the little village where Helen hosted the retreat we were
able to take walks along the roads, seeing sheep and other farm animals.
Several weeks later, here at home, we can finally say that
spring is here as the temperatures are higher. This is definitely one of the
coldest springs I can remember but it seems we have turned the corner.
Yesterday, April 18, I heard one of my most favorite birds singing—the House
Wren. Last year our wrens nested very late in the season and I guess they are
making up for it as this is the earliest I can ever remember seeing a house
wren. The bubbling trill of a house wren can be heard throughout the day. They
are the first birds to settle down in the late afternoon and among the first to
sing in the morning. In placing a wren house I read a long time ago that the
ideal location is about 8 ft high in an apple tree. We don’t all have such an
ideal spot so between 6 to 8 feet in an area with vegetation but space around
the house is attractive. Wrens are known to nest in old boots, hanging flower
baskets, and other unusual objects. They like it a little rough. Keep your wren
house unpainted and weathered.
We do believe we have bluebirds nesting in our bluebird
house that we put up last spring. Bob bought mealworms (dried) and has been
putting them out near the bluebird house. I practiced my pipes today by walking
in the woods. Spring Beauties cover the woods floor. Among the flowers that
herald spring for me, daffodils and spring beauties are right at the top of the
list. There are also trillium, violet, May Apples and Sweet William although the
latter two aren’t blooming yet. Spring Beauties, Claytonia virginica, are a small flower that looks white from a
distance but when you get closer there are quite a few that have pink stripes
and some that are mostly pink. The little pistils are also pink. I’ve read that
the tubers are edible and taste a bit like sweet radishes. I have not tested
them out and probably won’t although we have enough spring beauties out there
to fill a large salad bowl.

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
