Wow. I wish animals knew how cool we think they are....well, some animals. I know how you feel about certain little gray ones. :) Have fun planting your new lilac bushes. :) ____________________________________ <em>Yeah!  The gardener commented on how perfect it was, that it didn't look real, but staged. It really is quite lovely--and as he left it for me after all, will make a lovely addition to our home. :D ~W</em> What a talented bird who built that! Wow.

I've been searching the trees on my walks but have yet to find an abandoned one. Think I'll make my own! My friend, James, is the magic behind the new Astoria site. He did well, didn't he! _____________________________________ <em>Your friend did an amazing job!  I'm so proud that we have such a wonderful site---I can now give it out to people who ask about where I live.  It's really stunning--does our little destination proud! ~W</em> Beautiful nest!

I can't believe he talked you into letting him take it. Darn! Our lilac bush split in two with those same winds, we bound the broken trunk together and salvaged what we could. It's still alive and kicking... amazing. Your neighbors are in for a treat with those bundles! :) _____________________________________ <em>Yeah, I think the wind did some damage last year, just because of the size of this thing.  The gardener said he would bring it down beneath the hedge line in the fall, so that it's buffered some from the winds to keep it from splitting even further! :D ~W</em> Wow, that nest is gorgeous… I can’t believe he talked you into letting him take it.

And blooms as well. The lilac will definitely come back. Our neighbor cut one down the ground two years ago (it was rotting in the middle) and now it's 5 feet tall again. No reason not to plant more, though! Oh, the pictures and the sunshine are almost making me feel warm. I certainly hope sun for you means some sun for us inlanders in a while. I could use some! ____________________________________ <em>I hope you do get some sun.  I'm feeling ever so ready for Spring to really arrive.  We've had so many false starts! ~W</em> Oh, what a beautiful nest!
