I know, it's impossible to lurk without having new posts

mea culpa! mea culpa!

I've been reading, lots. I read a stack by Kelley Armstrong, and right now I'm reading everything the library has by Laurie R. King. It's what I feel like right now. And there's been several anthologies in there as well.

I had a wonderful moment today. I stepped out of the front door, and a little bird, a house finch, was singing at me. He was sitting in the tree right outside. He let me whistle back to him, and we talked back and forth for a little while.

thanks to "The Kansas School Naturalist", 42:2, for the picture of a house finch.
