Thank you for visiting my son's site, as well! <br /><br />Yes, Paula, we did briefly entertain the thought of webcams in both the birdhouse and my chicken coop! :)<br /><br />And now, as this is the first non-rainy day we've had in over a week (maybe that's why the chickadee decided to use the birdhouse?), I must get outside and enjoy the sunshine!Sarah Mellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287853021739077607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-32649469165268112162011-03-27T07:03:29.163-07:002011-03-27T07:03:29.163-07:00Very nice illustration and what a nice story of yo...Very nice illustration and what a nice story of your son (with roots and wings) who flies out, while the chickadees arrive to distract you from your work. :-)<br />Will your son install a web cam next year so you can peek at your chickadee family members?<br />PaulaMindful Drawinghttp://www.mindfuldrawing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-82284935740148677072011-03-27T05:29:21.768-07:002011-03-27T05:29:21.768-07:00What a nice story, Sarah.

Apples don't fall far... What amazing work he's doing and as always yours is perfect. <br /><br />Thank you for your work and sharing your Nathan's! I walk in the woods for an hour every day with Ellie Mae and when she was younger and needed more, we'd go twice (I was skinnier then, too) but late one afternoon in the fall an owl swooped silently about 12 inches over my head and was gone. Never heard it, never saw it until it was past...It was like a spirit swooping by... Amazing creatures. <br /><br />And right over our front door we have a hole where a light went and now sparrows nest...we often hear the little ones squealing inside our house and mama's always popping her head out. <br /><br />Good work, Sarah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-86605246183070433712011-03-25T23:20:42.252-07:002011-03-25T23:20:42.252-07:00I enjoyed reading your sweet, heartfelt post--and ...I enjoyed reading your sweet, heartfelt post--and the drawing is simple, straightforward... and beautiful.Elizabeth Rose Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725663688810441280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-82988103091331459012011-03-25T17:18:22.913-07:002011-03-25T17:18:22.913-07:00Lovely post!
