magpies
(They are everywhere here. My new favorite birds. The rhyme goes 'one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy' when you see them. I'm working on updating the site, which hasn't been done since 2006 [!] in some cases. I've put all my links in one place, for instance [see sidebar], and now all the pages should look fairly uniform as well. New links on the actual links page, and I'm hoping to get some work up in the work section, too. We'll see.)
(I always find two for joy.)

... five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret, never to be told. Eight for a letter, nine for something better. Ten for a wish, eleven for a kiss, twelve for a bird that's best to miss.
Collective nouns I've seen for magpies include a parliament, a tittering, a tiding, a gulp, a murder, a charm and a mischief.

Spring cleaning always feels so good. Sparrows are my favorite. Happy spring!
Lovely new design. I am still reading you all the time - just too busy to post. I remember last year with your Mum & the stroke and am so happy that things are going well and that you have found a place where you are.
