I am so grateful to live in a place where nature so beautifully announces the seasons. <br />I had a cardinal fly into my bathroom once and I will never forget capturing him and releasing him. Those scarlet feathers in my own hand. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-4653456805241267472015-02-21T08:00:26.499-06:002015-02-21T08:00:26.499-06:00I believe I needed this post.

I have some tin roof panels on one of my sheds and they seem to amplify the noise, almost deafening when it really rains.
