How exciting to return home and find that I'm the winner of the "Build a Nest" contest!
I'm so embarrassed though because my nest only took about ten minutes to throw together and y'all are so talented and crafty and worked long and hard on your beautiful creations. I really should not be the winner of this one but I promise to give little "Buttercup" a really good home ... she will be Top Birdie in my house!
I didn't go far on my vacation, only one county south to stay with friends who have a place on the water, but I had a wonderful week just chilling and relaxing! We did have the scare of Hurricane Irene coming along the coast but were really lucky when she passed us by. I'm so sorry for those along the coast from North Carolina to Vermont who were hit hard by the storm, and I will keep you all in my prayers for a quick restoration!
Ok ... I'm off to run errands and will take time to catch up on the threads this afternoon. Thanks again for this Forum that is so full of fun, friendship and thoughtfulness ... you all inspire me!
