Leo... eating grass?
We've just released our kittens, Leo and Nina, in the hopes that they'll rid our sheds of mice, and Leo (the gray one) has actually succeeded in catching a few! However, they can cause mischief sometimes, as is shown in the case of one little baby bird (see above pictures) whose nest got knocked down and its parents couldn't find it. We've given it to Angelica Hatke in the hopes that it'll survive... And it has! (So far.)
That's so cute! I'm glad that the baby bird has survived so far. Wouldn't it be great if it survived and grew into a fully grown bird? I really like the pictures. In the dark picture, I can't see Nina anywhere. Where am I supposed to look? -Finn
Source Angelo was born in Jerusalem to Jewish parents who later converted to Christianity. At the age of eighteen, he and his twin brother became Carmelites. Angelo lived for five years as a hermit and then he went to Sicily to convert Jews. He was finally stabbed to death in 1220.
Source Gertrude was born in Landen in 626 and was the daughter of Bls. Pepin and Itta. She refused to marry, becoming a nun instead. After her father died, her mother founded a double monastery at Nivelles. She became abbess in 652, the year that her mother died. She died on March 17, 659.
Source Anselm was a duke in earlier life, and he served his brother-in-law who was a king. He left for Rome to be a monk in around 753. He was later appointed abbot and given permission to inter Pope Sylvester's remains into his abbey. He died in 803, having been a Benedictine for fifty years.
