Even the geese started south yesterday.Davehttp://homebuggarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678931284680339665.post-78223559445259058522011-08-22T09:18:47.164-05:002011-08-22T09:18:47.164-05:00Excellent post, Anne.

Thanks too for the shoutout and the lovely words about my photography.<br /><br />-Kenrandomtruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941027847362672057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678931284680339665.post-21585885765805522262011-08-21T15:55:18.706-05:002011-08-21T15:55:18.706-05:00Nature keeps us going, doesn't it?Nature keeps us going, doesn't it?Anne McCormackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411395323766178814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678931284680339665.post-77642724375382343292011-08-21T15:44:01.514-05:002011-08-21T15:44:01.514-05:00How marvelous!How marvelous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678931284680339665.post-84076414679330060922011-08-21T11:28:56.407-05:002011-08-21T11:28:56.407-05:00Boy, Rebecca, I'd love to do that.
