bird list

Please don't read this post.
It is going to be the most boring ever.
It's just going to be a list of birds. I tell myself; it's a more organized way of keeping data. But you know, i don't label things, and when i look for a certain post i know i wrote, i can never find it back. And why keeping data anyway?
It's a sad state of affairs, and i don't even blame it on the weather, which is right about average for what we had from October till April.
It's a good thing i do have lots of things to do today, i didn't do my regular housekeeping yet this morning. I haven't been reading much lately, neither books, newspapers nor blogs. Oh, just poetry and bills.
Ah lucky for me; lots of poems, Thanks. and not many bills.
And then i listen to music more than ever and dance. I am just talking myself out of my own misery, because looking up today, well....
Darn it!
As i listen to the music; "i wouldn't be the fool i am, if i had you...."
What kind of stupid song is that anyway.
Better get on with my list.
Like Sue's, it is kind of; what i am grateful for list.
Blessed as i am, that list is much longer than you see here.
