In summer doves and parrots would nest in the trees in our garden.Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988802569095580501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-41265965095591674012012-01-05T16:44:02.783+13:002012-01-05T16:44:02.783+13:00I wrote this on Tuesday and scheduled it for today...I wrote this on Tuesday and scheduled it for today. It is almost impossible to believe that from 14℃ (58℉) in the rain when I wrote that today is actually a toastie 32℃ (90℉) under a cloudless sky. What is odd is that the birds haven't quite realised it yet and some of them are still singing their hearts out but I've not heard a single cicada).GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-8436392401163336182012-01-05T09:31:25.855+13:002012-01-05T09:31:25.855+13:00In Oklahoma the sun is shining a balmy 59 degrees ...In Oklahoma the sun is shining a balmy 59 degrees (F). ;^) <br /><br />The birds are gathering in the trees around my yard and composing a wonderful chorus.<br /><br />I'm glad for the ears to hear it, too.<br /><br />;^)<br /><br />CCynthia L.

Interesting how many people comment on how they go quiet in earthquakes - to e honest I have usually been thinking of other things at the time and don't notice - must try harder next time!! Had a nice long one today - felt like sitting on a waterbed. Makes you realise how liquid the ground really is under that sham of a crust.Fi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.com
