I live here in bird country USA and am pretty much clueless...I have to work on that, but since the stray cats have been hanging around, my neighbor's bird feeding station has been pretty deserted and I can't observe them like I used to. I miss that!<br />Cats love sandboxes too, don't they? LOL I loved playing in the sand as a kid too. I still find it very therapeutic to walk barefoot in the sand.<br />Your horses are so beautiful - what a life! You guys have a very nice place. You are living some people's dream (including mine)... enjoy your blessings and give the kids a big hug for me ;-)<br />Enjoy!<br />p.s. if you want some meatless main dishes for Thanksgiving this year, go to the Peta website and they have tons! Just FYI ;-)Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-37396848314994452542010-11-16T07:05:23.240-08:002010-11-16T07:05:23.240-08:00Where to begin on your fantastic post?

Kind of like being at the beach with all that sand around. I don't envy you a large rooster with enormous spurs. Ouch Julia! And your horses are kind of like my minis. They stand around looking good and eat us out of house and home.<br />Always love your witty posts. Oh, I forgot your wonderful wild birds.The Silver Age Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135538968544231161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-82352133208661888882010-11-15T05:52:17.557-08:002010-11-15T05:52:17.557-08:00You are right about the kids and sand.
