The daily meanderings of a teacher

Bird Droppings May 5, 2010 Wandering about for a bit I went walking with my dog yesterday afternoon. I headed from the house with camera in hand. I was looking at the land next to our house. Covered in grass with a few young pecan, persimmon, and mimosa trees it looks harmless enough. As I…

Bird Droppings May 4, 2010 Trying to top a previous days thought Nearly every day I sit down and write some days it makes it into my daily or almost daily ritual Bird Droppings and others well into my files for later use. It has been a few months back that I received an email…
