Debb: Shop for outdoor supplies and/or learn about nature and gardening at Shorty's...every community should have a place like this.

Hi Debb.   One can get lost in a local home and garden store.   More and more people seem to be attracted to birdwatching and what a better way to start than by attending a free class!

Debb - This is a great way to learn about the natural environment and to beautify your surroundings.  We have a super garden center that publishes a monthly newsletter. I should talk to them about whether or not they can do presentations like this. Thank you for a great blog on gardening!

Hi Debb -

Shorty's sounds like a very cool place to be!  Love the pic of the Black Back Finch.  They are our favorite birds and we actually keep them feeding in the backyard year round.

Hope you've had a productive day and see you soon in the Rain.

Best regards from The Q

Well isn't this nice, Debb?  Looks like a lovely local store.  How is your writing going to change after tomorrow? :))  But this has been a great habit to get into, right?  Not going to do AS MUCH localism, but sure gonna keep doing it.  Have been a great contest. Mel coming to town on Monday - wish you were here :)

Hi Deb~ Shorty's seems like a local find when you want more than just a store! Finding out about Garden Fairies and local birds with friends and neighbors is what community is all about!

Best regards from Seattle,

I'll be visiting your blogs and catching up on what's happening in your world. Running on a few hours sleep and need to focus on some business today, but I will slowly get back into be a good AR friend. :)  I've really missed you all.
