Thanks so much for your observations of Nature. I just recently got into the web site and to read just the two letters you wrote since I got in is so refreshing. Nature is my God, and I have a 22 year old, a 19 year old and a 2 year old, all females that I have been teaching Nature to ever since their births. To have a time for me to read about yor finds is wonderful and I look forward to them every day.I am also glad that you got some snow fall.I'm originally from the Albany, New York area where we get a nice winter of snow and freezing temps, but now living in Southern RI, we hardly get much. I heard Albany N.Y. got 5 ft in two weeks during the Christmas Holidays... I was jealous. So I had to go back to the Berkshire Mountains last weekend just to feel it again. I have heard a owl during the summer around our house hooting, and after your report yesterday, I want to go out with the little one to see if we can find their nest. Just to look from the ground of course.Take care.Louise
