Thank you so much for your newsletter. It is always a pleasure to read about nature and its lovely creatures.While I am a country girl at heart, I lived in the surburbs of San Marcos, CA. My husband and I have made our humble home a little oasis in the middle of an industrial community. He looks forward at the days end to come home to our ever growing bird santuary we've made in back yard. Lots of bird-friendly plants and several bird feeders have brought us many friendly visitors and delighted us with their company. So again it is a pleasure,too, to read of others enjoying the finer things of this world. Thanks,Stacia
