I have to study more on this as it seems very interesting. One thing I don’t understand though is how everything is related together. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-48649351881625008282011-09-18T08:30:39.501-07:002011-09-18T08:30:39.501-07:00Oh Sharon, Your heart is so huge . . . your light ...Oh Sharon, Your heart is so huge . . . your light to help little birds caught in a storm . . . precious.

We had torrential rains here as well ( in KY). We returned home from 3 weeks of travels to find a downed tree in our yard and limbs scattered everywhere. Not nearly the mess that you all have had - but a big fat mess all the same. Mother Nature is a powerful force to reckon with~~<br /><br />I am glad that you are safe and sound after that storm!<br /><br />VickiVicki Bosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130335934867523461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-2452087057822123122011-09-07T07:48:43.931-07:002011-09-07T07:48:43.931-07:00Rebecca dear,

I spent quite a bit of time with this little guy.<br /><br />I won't be showing the difference between our robin and the British one because this will be for youngsters of 5 to 9 years and it will focus on the birds easily seen at a feeder or in a backyard. I want them to grasp the basics first...so I'll concentrate on about 40 or 50 easy-to-id birds for the young'uns. <br /><br />Thanks for your visits!<br /><br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-46684579459382524422011-09-01T18:31:32.370-07:002011-09-01T18:31:32.370-07:00Sharon,

That and the extreme heat in the midwest. All we have to complain about here in England is the cold and damp (heat and long underwear in August, I ask you!).

Our little cottage is not on the beach but set back at the highest point of land between the ocean side and the back bay. We always worry about the road to our place and this time the ocean pushed sand inward toward the dunes instead of robbing them of more much needed footage. I love your care for birds and plants. Animals seem to know how to handle these things better than we do especially if people like you and Jeff remember to think of them too when winds fly and rain falls. <br />sending love,<br />Deb and BozAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431126111383952372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-78472561287687063082011-08-30T13:55:17.772-07:002011-08-30T13:55:17.772-07:00I have two posts to you that didn't appear:(
