But all this goofiness aside … aren’t you thrilled to know that two Soveran’s (not Doug) have fallen in love with birds. Rhett has four photos of a blue jay. That brought back such wonderful memories. Google Rhett’s name and you’ll find his website and look at the pictures & story that way.

Two comments – you are becoming more like your mother every day – it must something in your Norwegian/Welsh half that makes you fascinated with having birds in your back yard. Secondly, when you were growing up I would see from time to time glimpses of what you were going to be in 5, 10 years. Now married for 2 years, approaching 30 and getting settled in your house it’s only a question of time before your yard is littered with lawn ornaments and little windmills – I can see you shuffling amongst the decorations (with an old straw hat on) spreading birdseed and talking to your feathered friends.
