Thanks to Dennis Price, a way-down-south Texan...

... for directing me to blogspot. In lieu of Face Book, My Space, etc., I'll try my hand at blogging. Roland Mann has also been instructive as I begin this new venture. First, we'll see how this first post turns out. Then, we'll see. Thanks, Dennis and Roland. Ooh, ooh! Two bluebirds are cleaning themselves in the birdbath outside the south window. Already today, I've seen a pair of robins, house finches, nuthatches, sparrows and a woodpecker. How many haiku can I write about the event? Then when I think I have seen enough, I notice a cardinal in the pinking japonica farther out in the yard. Not to forget the early, common daffodils in the north yard under the hackberry. Oh, the beauties of spring!! pl

    Hi Pat. If you have already gotten this comment it's because I tried to send it once and couldn't because of some technical difficulty. Glad to have you in the blogosphere. You will find many sites you enjoy. Many are birders and flower folks. Some are poets too. I will e-mail you some other blogs to look at. Good luck, and good blogging. Pappy

    The hard part of blogging for me is keeping up with it! I've started three and pooped out on all of them!

    I was also hoodwinked into this endeavor by the Texican last May. Like Sparky said be yourself. Good luck, Carey, A.K.A. Pappys younger sibling.
