Hiya Patsy,
Thanks for the kind words but sorry to disappoint you or burst your bubble of
imagination.
I am no bird lover nor lover of anthing - hey hey! I just did what I had to do
on each day & enjoyed my day as it came. If there were birds, I saw/watched, if
there were squirrels I did the same, or anything for that matter including some
fancy leaves or plants that grew in our garden or the leghorns ( those big
white fowls that laid eggs everyday unlike the local ones) that Dad kept. Guess
each day including the holidays was interesting, especially when I could attend
a jam session at the Saligao Institute every Sunday...now it is a drudge - work
work & more work whether at home or at office or deal with health problems as I
get older, the only time I enjoy my day now is when there is a dance somewhere
& I can attend.
But yes, you are right - there was a lot of wildlife around & pets too before
unlike now & life was simpler & more enjoyable when younger.
Have a nice day
Annette
