Gardening is trial and error for me, many times. Do what works for you!<BR/><BR/>Your Eight things show many similarities between you and I. Thank you for contributing!<BR/><BR/>Jackie,<BR/><BR/>Leaf mulch is wonderful for the soil...I was just watching all my neighbours tidying their yards, taking the leaves and putting them in plastic bags. I agree...what a waste!<BR/><BR/>Alison,<BR/><BR/>We definitely have four seasons here. It seems they are becoming more and more defined. We had a huge storm last night and today...blew all the remaining leaves right out of the yard!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-70965886457466827372007-11-11T18:14:00.000-08:002007-11-11T18:14:00.000-08:00enjoying reading your four seasons writings. all w...enjoying reading your four seasons writings. all we have is rain or hot sunny days. hehe!Guatyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697579794514838361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-58338662812198484732007-11-11T02:31:00.000-08:002007-11-11T02:31:00.000-08:00I love squirrels.

We don't have them here but when visiting Cape Town I always take time out and go and feed them peanuts in the parks there.<BR/><BR/>Amazing two hawks. I haven't seen many in my life time.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you enjoy raking. Here most appear to use a machine to slurp them up and never bother to do anything with them. Such a waste of wonderful nutrition for the soil.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-85262908785602069572007-11-10T18:01:00.000-08:002007-11-10T18:01:00.000-08:00I finally did my eight things.

Here's the link.......<BR/><BR/>http://mysteahag.blogspot.com/2007/06/thickets.html<BR/><BR/>It's totally amazing to see these birds close up like that. Power just flows from the Hawk.<BR/><BR/>Davem,<BR/><BR/>Thank you! By being in the garden, moving from one job to another, life itself seems to flow very easily. I'm glad that flow showed up in my post.<BR/><BR/>Barbara,<BR/><BR/>Now that must have been awesome! I have seen young birds take flight from nests around my home. It always brings tears to my eyes.<BR/><BR/>But I have never seen hawk youngsters learning to fly. What a sight that would be. The young hawk that first visited was sooooo curious. They are still a little innocent when they are young, and not as wary as perhaps they will be later in life.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-64419420754590044662007-11-09T08:51:00.000-08:002007-11-09T08:51:00.000-08:00Sheila,Hawks are raptors, and as such, many are le...Sheila,<BR/><BR/>Hawks are raptors, and as such, many are leery of them. To me, they are majestic birds, and rare around here...they are usually found in the forested, mountainous areas.<BR/><BR/>But those forested areas are becoming rare, as well.<BR/><BR/>David,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're continuing to look out for those of us who require such help.<BR/><BR/>Project 71,<BR/><BR/>Welcome! You have an interesting site, to be sure.<BR/><BR/>Simon,<BR/><BR/>Your series on acceptance on your blog is great, thank you for attempting this subject.You're a very good writer, you know that?<BR/><BR/>Squirrels are hilarious. Their hijinks have been a part of our family lore for ages. My daughter used to called them squirbels. It took me a long time before I realized the creature that was giving her two year old mind such nightmares was a squirrel!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-50499859830316081942007-11-08T15:12:00.000-08:002007-11-08T15:12:00.000-08:00How exciting.

This summer we got to witness some young hawks taking what we think were their first flights from the nest, in a tall palm tree nearby. Quite exciting -- for them and us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-42053499956600208342007-11-08T09:36:00.000-08:002007-11-08T09:36:00.000-08:00Great article with beautiful pictures.

I guess he was after a meal and wasn't paying close enough attention. Thankfully, he noticed me before I hit him and he swerved away just in time. I was a bit startled, as I'm sure the hawk was too, but it did give me a good opportunity to see the hawk up close, especially the underside. It was a glorious blend of brown and white, beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-51439426148397871512007-11-07T14:23:00.000-08:002007-11-07T14:23:00.000-08:00Another great post, Marion!

You have the knack of encapsulating the sense of peace and connection I feel while gardening and beaming it out in your posts!<BR/><BR/>I'll swear that squirrels have a sense of humor. I remember my ex-partner's cat sitting on a fence and a squirrel running up close behind it. The cat would look around to see what was happening and the squirrel would run away again. Then, when the cat had turned its attention back, the squirrel would run up behind it again, and so on... No advantage in such behavior for the squirrel that I could see... apart from the sheer pleasure of annoying the cat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-70686279379389963872007-11-07T07:15:00.000-08:002007-11-07T07:15:00.000-08:00Done Marion, Please!Send an email to the Brazil em...Done Marion, Please!<BR/><BR/>Send an email to the Brazil embassy your country and report the injustice that the brazilian courts are making with this girl<BR/>Release on Flavia’s accident and status of the process.<BR/>===================================<BR/><BR/>The resignation is to stop the evolution. <BR/><BR/>Thank youdavid santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976825493652779441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-33470040856610948562007-11-06T10:45:00.000-08:002007-11-06T10:45:00.000-08:00Ah, two hawks.

What a beautiful description of fall gardening and communing with the hawks! I think I prefer them over many people.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.com
