You'll have to wait til Oct for fall. Glad you could enjoy the outing for new neighbors. I agree -- I don't welcome cats (pets) that get on the kitchen counter or table -- mine never did. <br /><br />Growing up on farms, kids see all sorts of births, often at early ages. I understand girls becomevwomen at earlier ages now than my generation, so maybe watching a birth okay. Probably depends on other factors.

Birth is indeed a messy process but it is natural and part of the circle so who knows. I would not want anyone (didn't even want the hubby in there) in watching unless they were medically equipped to help me!<br /><br />Ahhhh ... love catching up on your life.

If it was this hot, in 1917... Doesn't that seem to say, that climate is cyclical?<br /><br />Remember England's Little Ice Age? When Charles Dickens "invented" what we still see, as the "perfect Christmas"? England had SNOW, then. <br /><br />And England hasn't had that kind of snow, in a long, long time.<br /><br />Just throwing that out.....Beside a babbling brook...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14230422491225783790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267296850244884919.post-83878760791365848472017-09-25T16:49:00.151-04:002017-09-25T16:49:00.151-04:00A baby.
