Before the arthritis got to my hands I used to draw the flowers I saw, inspired (but a long way behind) Keble Martin. I kept a record of their locations to remind me of those days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-23784254361404069342007-04-09T20:31:00.000+01:002007-04-09T20:31:00.000+01:00Spotted Elephant, I'm with you--we love going to o...Spotted Elephant, I'm with you--we love going to our summertime pool at the Girl Scout camp because we always see rabbits, and often deer and groundhogs.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, in our neighborhood, which includes a piece of forest surrounded by city, deer near or on the road are a frequent and dangerous occurence.<BR/><BR/>I once saw a bat snuggled up for the day under the lip of a stair in front of my then-workplace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-3929891598121819632007-04-09T19:23:00.000+01:002007-04-09T19:23:00.000+01:00You saw a fox, two rats, and seven deer!

Sorry for my animal bias, but that's quite a sighting!<BR/><BR/>The only time I've seen a fox was when I lived in an enormous apartment complex.

(Specifically, that moment when the plumber asked me to stand ready with a bucket while he drilled little draining holes through the plasterboard above my head.) May your new ceiling last 100 years, and your dreams free of uncontrollably leaking walls and/or ceilings.<BR/><BR/>Did you also partake of a <A HREF="http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/choccy" REL="nofollow">creme egg</A>? They're exclusively an Easter-time phenomenon here, which my husband finds completely outrageous (and rightly so). We're carefully rationing our little carton of mini creme eggs; after they're gone we likely won't see them again till next year. They've already disappeared from the shop down the road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-51008322281472384482007-04-09T17:48:00.000+01:002007-04-09T17:48:00.000+01:00Yes, the ceiling collapsed following the flood.
