I dont know anything about the advice you seek re: woodpeckers Don, but
thanks for the nice thoughts re my words. If I could, I would inhale the
spirit of trees.I adore them. I wrote off list about the wonderful effect
of light through leaves...it renders me absolutely speechless. I try to come
up with the words in order that I might somehow convey how it affects me.
Impossible. Oh, I absolutely adore them.The long version of my beloved
willow tree story by the river is pretty sad. Oh well. Glad you are enjoying
this thread . It is special. As was Ashara's story. Kindred spirits
everywhere...which is why I love this list.
and I agree, the bday card for Joni is absolutely gorgeous, endearing,
heartfelt. Im sure she will love it.
