I have to say something very unexpected has happened to me, after years of being consummed with the lives of my girl's , they are now both becoming more and more independant, which gives me more free time. I have always loved birds (honestly I can't believe I'm actually admitting this after years of teasing my Mom about her joy in bird watching), when I was young, I spent alot of time chasing cats out of my parents yard, even if it meant jumping over my neighbors fense to free a robin from a cats grips , our back yard was a bird cemetary (for the less fortunate) Even our faithful dog Skippy was excellent at warning us of any feline intruders. I still try to protect the sparrows and Robins and bunnies from predetors, but now what I really enjoy is watching these birds in the yard, I love how the Robins work in twos, and watching the sparrows fill up at the bird feeder, It's great to be outdoors again.
