my Mom always had a little ditty for these birds. "There once was bird named a Pelican, who could hold more in his beak than his belly can, I don't know how the h___ he can." Crazy that I still remember that. Thanks for my memory.

In my mind the "man who wore those boots" is your husband (and please do not tell me if it's not) ... imagine the thrill of being surrounded by something made with love --- beyond my scope

these trees are so pretty. They are in full bloom here, also. But today their worst enemy is upon us --- strong winds ): Your horizontal layout makes me feel like I am on a tree-lined lane.

Kira is so beautiful and placing her in a favorite book is very sentimental. Hope she lives a long, wonderful life.

Do not under any circumstances send that weather my way! Our lilacs are still trying to bloom -- yesterday a.m. there was frost on the bus stop shelter ... everything is really green, but Lord a little sunshine would do wonders! I remember watching those crazy blue jays taking whole peanuts...

I bet he is going to have the shirt printed in many, many sizes. Thank your husband for his wonderful service and to you, for those so many sleepless nights.

ah ha ... you found a great one! She is such a beautiful young lady and your lo certainly compliments that beauty.

I love the way your striped paper cuddles them all in and the wonderful perspective on your one photo just draws out eye into the next. Great awesome happy page!!

I agree with ouisiekelly -- you truly did out-do yourself. This is amazing and like they say " this should be hung on a wall!"

oh, you have to love that dog! They are the most inquisitive wonderful beings! Great snapshot and lo
