Goodness! Was there a corpse and clues and whatnot??   ;)

oooohhhh! I hope so!!!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I seem to recall that as kids, we would lie in a field and act like we were dead so that buzzards would come down close to us, but it never worked.  The birds could tell that we were faking it.

Buzzards are one of my favorite birds! They stomp their feet to get your attention and if you persist on getting too up close and personal they'll regurgitate to scare you off. It's hilarious! We had one we couldn't return to the wild and used him as an educational ambassador. His name was Chuck (short for UpChuck). He would steel keys from your pockets and loved to play ball. Such a great bird!

Here is a picture of the top of one of my wind chimes.  It is a test picture.  I recently purchased a spotting scope because I wanted to get a closer look at birds who visit EllGab Garden Central.  This was taken from quite a distance away, so I think the scope will work good for closeup pix of birds.
Nice!

I went for a quiet stroll through one of my favorite cemeteries yesterday.  There are lots of Ponderosa Pine trees growing there.  I have one just like this growing in the back yard.  Mine will be as tall as this one in about another eighty or ninety years.  I can't wait.

Very possibly, especially if Morg was a member of the Woodmen of the World fraternal organization.

The flower pot that keeps on giving.  This is the same pot that had the Rudbeckias growing in it last July.
