Mum left us, & the dog and returned to whatever she did in the city without us after a few days. Then, the whole glorious summer stretched out smelling of hay and horse and manure, or green reeds by the slow river and chickens and heat on cement, dust, milkpods. thank you for handing it back to me just like this. <br />(though not without a pang - we cannot do it quite the same way. unfettered and wide open. unsupervised and lazy. there are berries aplenty, but not enough grandparents. or farms.) <br />good luck with the next phase, with the inevitable season's turning.EarnestGirlhttp://www.yummymummyclub.ca/earnestgirl_west_coast_chroniclesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608003494386157154.post-18563930011521469982010-08-01T16:17:45.626-07:002010-08-01T16:17:45.626-07:00Lovely and don't forget the richness the adult...Lovely and don't forget the richness the adults receive in return for the privilege of borrowing your children -- of exploring and growing through the eyes of a child which never grows old.

Always. If your cat is already raised to "want out" then at a minimum keep it indoors during dawn-to-dusk hours of baby bird season, when fledglings are near or on the ground and most vulnerable to attack. But really year-round indoors is the answer. It's natural for cats to prey in small things that move, but our house cats are not a part if the natural food chain and don't have a place anywhere near it. See Cats Indoors! Campaign of American Bird Conservancy (www.abcbirds.org), Audubon, and other bird conservation organizations. Cat attacks are leading contributors to<br />millions of preventable bird deaths every year (right up there with window impacts, which we can also do something about). As cat (and dog) owners we own the responsibility to keep native wildlife safe from our pets. Please use your compassion for this lost bird you are memorializing to spread the word about Cats Indoors! We can't fix the oil spill but there are these other things we can do for our native wild birds. Because it matters. Thank you for the space to post here, from a very passionate bird rehab volunteer.bluebird129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608003494386157154.post-43820286286113464002010-06-11T13:42:08.500-07:002010-06-11T13:42:08.500-07:00i will watch and be impressedi will watch and be impressedAnne Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879372764439610216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608003494386157154.post-53553907351107022452010-05-31T18:05:42.623-07:002010-05-31T18:05:42.623-07:00This is a fantastic post.

And I do so understand those lost "last time" moments - the little stuff (am very grateful I didn't realize it was the last time I breastfed my child)and the big stuff (I can't remember the what I said to my mother the last time I saw her alive). Thank you so much for your words and for joining our Love the Gulf Blog Carnival. If only those who decided to drill in the first place had a "do no harm" motto. Because if they had, this leak would have been planned for and capped long ago.
