Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Last night the full Moon was so bright the birds were up all night, which is unusual where I live. We have no street lighting, and it is usually pitch black at night, and quiet. They were already flying around a good one and a half hours before dawn.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It always amazes me to hear the birds singing in the morning in the winter, after a storm, or when it's really cold. I see these teensy little balls of feathers and wonder how on earth they managed to survive that wind storm. Of course, you know I've been concerned about my mousies. Then there is this little dog that lives somewhere in my neighborhood, with one of those little squeaky voices that puppies of small breeds have, and he cries and cries. He's obviously outside, and it is way to cold for a small breed puppy to be out. I wish I knew where he lived. I'd steal him. Or something. peace, sharon On 1/4/07, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: all spring long, the birds sing non stop 24 hrs a day outside our windows...scrub jaysmockingbirdssparrowsah...livin in the citynow we just have some finches, chickadees, and of course, pigeons...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It is a shame when people have animals and don't let them inside. Our neighbour has cats, and they are outside all the time - waiting for a warm car bonnet to sit on, or a car to shelter under when it is raining. :-( Jo - Sharon Murch Thursday, January 04, 2007 5:26 PM Re: Moon birds It always amazes me to hear the birds singing in the morning in the winter, after a storm, or when it's really cold.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Jo, this is what I was talking about in my introductory note to Celeste's story. It just seems as though there is so much suffering in the world ... you can remain closed off to it and go about your business, but for me, once I allow myself to hear that puppy, I really feel for it. And there are so many worse things going on. How about HLS? Hundreds, thousands of animals being tortured daily in the name of " research, " then disposed of like so much trash. Sometimes it is just overwhelming. I was reading a book recently about a woman who had a gorilla she was training to speak sign language (fiction). So I read the last page, which I rarely do, and discovered that the gorilla died. So I just put the book away, didn't read anymore. The one paragraph in the Celeste story, about not reacting to pain and darkness by turning away from it, and thereby contributing to it, but by loving more ... that was the paragraph that really got me. peace, sharon On 1/4/07, jo <jo.heartwork wrote: It is a shame when people have animals and don't let them inside.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007  Lots of animals visit the compost file, don't they. Ours is always being turned over, and various things eaten :-) Jo - fraggle Thursday, January 04, 2007 6:31 PM Re: Moon birds you can't track the lil guy down to see if he's ok? in someones backyard you can't see i take it?? right now we've got raccoons visiting the backyard everynite they like the compost pile... and drive the dogs nuts Sharon Murch Jan 4, 2007 12:26 PM Re: Moon birds It always amazes me to hear the birds singing in the morning in the winter, after a storm, or when it's really cold.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 No, I have no idea where he lives. He has one of those barks that kind of echoes, which makes it difficult to pinpoint, but regardless it's not someone who is right next to me, so I'd have to be snooping around backyards right when he's barking. I'm not even sure if there might not be more than one. One day I heard a man yelling, then a little puppy (same voice) yelping, and I just stuck my head out the window and yelled, " Leave that puppy alone! " Haven't heard that since then anyway. We have wildlife, too. I know we have raccoons in the neighborhood, but whatever we have is sneaking in under the fence, and the hole they have dug doesn't look deep enough for a racoon so I'm thinking maybe possums. It's really annoying having them dig holes under the fence, though, cause I have a really small dog (six pounds) and he can get out of their holes very easily. Of course, I don't let him out without supervision anyway cause I figure whatever it is back there it's gonna be bigger than him. That's how I broke my ankle, in fact ... trying to see what my little dog was barking at. peace, sharon On 1/4/07, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: you can't track the lil guy down to see if he's ok? in someones backyard you can't see i take it?? right now we've got raccoons visiting the backyard everynite they like the compost pile... and drive the dogs nuts Sharon Murch Jan 4, 2007 12:26 PM @gro ups.com Re: Moon birds It always amazes me to hear the birds singing in the morning in the winter, after a storm, or when it's really cold.
